The "portupgrade" port can do this. Something like...

The -n tells it not to do anything, just show you what it would do.
This sounds like what I'm looking for... so I tried it. But its giving me difficulties.
I am using `portupgrade -nN -rR "x11-fm/rox-filer"` for example.
I believe that 'portupgrade -n' only works right for ports which you have already installed. It keeps a database of already-installed ports, and that's what it is using to track '-Rr'. Or at least, 'portupgrade -nN' never does anything useful for me, even though it is very useful to do 'portupgrade -n -Rr' when upgrading ports you have already installed.
Yes... That is the conclusion I have come to.
I'm sure what I am trying to accomplish is just one savvy shell script away.... I'm just not that savvy though. If I can't find something which already does what I'm looking for.... I'll muddle through writing a script to do it.
