But it doesn't seem to have Graphviz graph generation, right? If I'm seeing that right, then I might dive in to try to add that (in src/port/port.tcl in action_deps, looks like?), maybe get a little more familiar with base code.

You're probably right. At least I got to spend some quality time understanding the base code. :)

It appears that port-rdeps is now blazingly fast. Must be the base functions for dependency calculation that it's using got overhauled in 1.9 -- no doubt due to your tireless efforts! Thanks.

I'll copy port-rdeps to port-depgraph (I think that's a good name), rip out the non-graph parts, and work on some improvements there.
