I could possibly make lists of ports that depend on pcre and icu using
pkg info -r icu (and also pcre, redirecting to files)
Then I could try
portmaster -w -r icu -r pcre
or do I need to use -w twice?
Then I could see what ports it would build, say n when asked if I wanted to rebuild those ports, assuming there would be config dialogs along the line.
Then I would run the portmaster command again with |& tee portm.log at the right end, see if I like what would be built before answering y.
I would be able to login to another virtual terminal to examine portm.log file at the early stage when asked whether to rebuild the ports.
