Comment(by Mathias.Laurin@…):

 I would also like a more gentoo-ish package manager and this feature is
 the one I miss most, hence I wrote a small python script calling port(1)
 recursively to do exactly that. It shows a star next to the already-
 installed dependencies. I am sorry I do not know tcl, I know a patch would
 have been more useful. I also see and appreciate that this feature is
 schedule to 1.9.0. In the mean time, my "pyport" script can be used. It
 may not be perfect but it does the job for me. It is public domain (really
 trivial python with a recursive call).
