From your original post:

Then when a library's MAJORVERSION is changed it will prompt a rebuild on any
port that relies on it will also get rebuilt.

I assumed that you were looking for a program that would force an
update of any ports that were dependent upon a changed(updated) port.
The command I posted would do that. Perhaps I am just not fully
comprehending what you are attempting to accomplish.
I have as of yet to not found any other port management program that
accomplished that as fully as 'portmanager' does.
