I'll add a few comments though: A number of ports will build differently depending on the ports that exist when they are compiled (mozilla and xmms come to mind here). There are also a variety of ports where different versions are available that are functionally similar (so any version would satisfy dependencies). If you want to install particular subordinate ports (eg you have a MySQL database of a particular version), you should probably explicitly install them, rather than rely on root/leaf port dependencies. -- Peter Jeremy
