The total number of entries in the tree is 2520790 but there are only 321 unique ports involved. Port glib2 alone appears 14023 times.

So there's a lot of overkill going on here.

I'd have to argue that if you can figure out the unique dependencies then so can MacPorts. How can that be overkill? The dependencies listed in a portfile are up to the maintainer to maintain. If they don't feel burdened by the extraneous ports -- well, I find figuring out what's already handled just as bothersome -- it really shouldn't matter.
