Dependents are precisely those ports that are needed at runtime. We
don't keep info about build deps in the registry, because you're not
going to be building with the portfile in the registry, but with the one
in the tree.

You maybe want something like 'port echo installed and depends:someport'
except recursive? That's probably going to be slow as things stand.
