Unfortunately, there is no such way. MacPorts does not track if you
installed a port as a dependency or if you requested it to be installed.

There is also currently nothing to scan for broken packages and rebuild
them, except rebuild all dependent ports using 'port -R upgrade'.

If you want to bring your ideas in, feel free to tell them (better being
discussed on macports-dev).
