I looked in the port manpage and it seemed to be a bit ambiguous when it said: 'To recursively uninstall all dependents of this port, use --follow-dependents'. I don't want to uninstall anything that's used elsewhere and, while I doubt that this will happen, it seems wise to check beforehand.

You want --follow-dependencies, which goes the other way. This will not
uninstall anything that is marked as requested or has other dependents.
