Finding dependents

Postfix *with no variants* has no dependencies. That's what you will be 
shown if you run simply 'port deps postfix', because of course you have 
not specified any variants (and no variants are on by default).

I think what's wanted here is:

port deps postfix and installed

Or if you're more interested in what is installed that depends on pcre:

port dependents pcre
