As far as I can see, you didn't get a reply, so I'll take a shot at it. I 
don't think what you're asking for is really possible, since by nature the 
dependencies have to be searched recursively.

Ports tools like portmaster ignore the order that they are returned in, 
and do a depth-first traversal of all dependencies, internally recording 
those that are already up to date.


hope this helps,

Doug
