When I do

some packages get rebuilt several times.
Isn't port supposed to calculate and order transitive

No, but it is meant to not rebuild anything that isn't outdated. What
you describe should not be possible unless you're using the -f
option,
which causes ports to rebuilt even if they don't appear to be
outdated.
I had copied -f from a porticus run without understanding what it
meant.
Then that explains it. You basically never want to use "-f" with
"port upgrade" unless you also use "-n". See:
