Ok, so now I have a similar, but perhaps more complicated issue that
just arose somehow.  The yasm port is required by x264 at build time
for 64-bit.

[~@swmb]$ port dependents yasm
yasm has no dependents.

This is not unexpected since it is just a build dep.

[~@swmb]$ port info x264
x264 @20100412 (multimedia)
Variants:             asm, universal

Description:          x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC
video streams. The code is written by Laurent Aimar, Eric Petit(OS X),
Min Chen
                      (vfw/nasm), Justin Clay(vfw), Måns Rullgård and
Loren Merritt from scratch. It is released under the terms of the GPL
license.

Build Dependencies:   yasm
Platforms:            darwin
License:              unknown
Maintainers:          devans at macports.org, openmaintainer at macports.org
[~@swmb]$ port echo depof:x264
yasm

The above two commands show that macports "knows" that yasm is a
(build) dependency.

[~@swmb]$ port_cutleaves -b -l
yasm @1.0.0_0

But here the previously reliable-to-figure-this-out port_cutleaves
shows yasm as a leaf, even with the -b (exclude build deps) option.
The reason seems to be that x264 doesn't insert the build-dep on yasm
into the registry:

[~@swmb]$ /usr/bin/tclsh
% package require macports
1.0
% mportinit
% mportlookup x264

Any ideas?
