New description:

 The doc at [https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.deps] does not mention
 the depof: selector. (Similarly for rdepof:)

 In contrast, the doc at
 [https://guide.macports.org/#using.port.dependents] does mention the
 depends: and rdepends: selectors. The doc mentions them in other places,
 too.

 Note that depof: and rdepof: are mentioned in the manual page
 [https://man.macports.org/port.1.html] in Section DESCRIPTION.

 However, rdepends: is mentioned there, but depends: is not mentioned.

 Is there a reason why it is so?

 Would it be possible to update these sections?
