Cleaning the cruft from my MacPorts

A few things have led to a less than awesome repo of local software  
that MacPorts has helped me to install.  By no fault of MacPorts or  
course; though I am often abusing MacPorts to get something intalled  
for myself, or maybe making a port for submission, or on those rare  
occasions, I can get in a port at the request of a user here on the  
list.

My `port installed` was a few hundred lines, I got it down to 63 by  
way of obvious uninstalls.

I need a working MAMP stack, and all the dependencies with their links  
in the chain.  A few other things, rsync, I think outside of MAMP, not  
of the stuff I need has dependencies,

I am sitting on stuff like this:
       libgpg-error @1.7_0 (active)
       libiconv @1.13_0 (active)
       libidn @1.15_0 (active)
       libmcrypt @2.5.8_1 (active)
       libnet11 @1.1.4_0 (active)
       libogg @1.1.4_0 (active)
       libpcap @1.0.0_0 (active)
       libpng @1.2.38_0 (active)
       libtool @2.2.6b_0 (active)
       libvorbis @1.2.3_0 (active)
       libxml2 @2.7.6_0 (active)
       libxslt @1.1.24_2 (active)

I have no idea how they got there, and sticking a `port info` into all  
~60 of these to see, is a bit tiresome. I was wondering is there a way  
to give a list of what I want, and all the dependencies, then  
uninstall whatever was left remaining.

Sort of a `port uninstall whatever is not part of item 1, 2, 3, and 4,  
plus all dependencies.

Tanks all.
