Order of Operations to Install
     1  fetch
     2  checksum
     3  extract
     4  patch
     5  configure
     6  build
     7  destroot
     8  install
     9  deactivate
    10  activate
    11  clean

(I'm kind of thinking out loud here...)

Proposal:
What if we changed the order slightly, so we do steps 1-7 for all the
packages first, and then, if there are no errors, do 8-11?

This is not possible, because dependencies have to be installed and
active or they cannot be used on building dependents.

Well, never mind then.  :P

Does MacPorts keep track of which ports were installed explicitly and which were installed as deps?
