I see that I only replied to you and not the list. You have to use something like portupgrade -pufr imake. For example, on my system a required by dependancy list for imake shows Information for imake-4.3.0: Required by: ImageMagick-5.5.5 Mesa-3.4.2_2 WordNet-1.7.1 XFree86-4.3.0,1 XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0 XFree86-Server-4.3.0 XFree86-clients-4.3.0 XFree86-documents-4.3.0 XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-font75dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.3.0 XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.3.0 XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.0 XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0 XFree86-libraries-4.3.0 XFree86-manuals-4.3.0 Xft-2.1_3 apsfilter-7.2.5_1 arts-1.1,1 cups-1.1.18.0_4 cups-pstoraster-7.05.6 docproj-jadetex-1.10 ghostscript-gnu-7.05_4 gtk-1.2.10_9 html2ps-letter-1.0_1 imlib-1.9.14_1 imwheel-0.9.9 jadetex-3.12_1 kdbg-1.2.5 kde-3.1 kdeartwork-3.1 kdebase-3.1_1 kdegames-3.1 kdegraphics-3.1 kdelibs-3.1 kdemultimedia-3.1 kdenetwork-3.1 kdepim-3.1 kdetoys-3.1_1 kdeutils-3.1 kdevelop-2.1.5 koffice-1.2.1,1 libmpeg2-0.3.1_1 libungif-4.1.0b1 libwmf-0.2.8 links-2.1.p9,1 open-motif-2.2.2_1 peps-1.0 pilot-link-0.11.7_1 qt-3.1.1_4 teTeX-2.0.2 tk-8.3.5 transfig-3.2.4 wrapper-1.0_2 xanim-2.92.0 xfree86_xkb_xml-0.2 xmbmon-201 xmcd-3.2 xmms-esound-1.2.7_3 xmms-kde-3.0.0 If you just use -r imake, you will only update imake and the XFree86-4.3 ports. This leaves a lot of ports linked to old XFree86 libraries. The libraries are probably used dynamicaly but the header files that went along with them have been updated. I believe in a KISS simple, clean setup and will always rebuild anything that has an updated port as an b-dep. The only thing I ignore are utilities such as imake. An upgrade of imake doesn't justify rebuilding everything in my mind; however, a major update of XFree86-libraries is a different matter. If you use -rf, you will update everything in the required by list. It will also take a long time :).
