I had occasion to test this today and as far as I can tell it should  
work. Here, mpfr depends on gmp, both are outdated, and asking port  
to upgrade mpfr does correctly upgrade gmp first.


$ port deps gmp mpfr
gmp has no dependencies
mpfr has library dependencies on:
         gmp
$ port outdated gmp mpfr
The following installed ports are outdated:
gmp                            4.2.2_2 < 4.2.3_0
mpfr                           2.3.1_0 < 2.3.2_0
$ sudo port upgrade mpfr

This was tested on MacPorts built from trunk. I did not test with  
MacPorts 1.6.0; perhaps something has been fixed on trunk related to  
this.
