That's more likely to be library deps though, and those will get quite
large for some ports. And removing one of those very probably *will* break
things (and MacPorts will warn you not to do it). There's just nothing to
be done about e.g. gtk-based ports having sometimes hundreds of
dependencies.

I will note that the build dependency issue is also present with Debian's
"apt-get autoremove"; there are no good solutions.
