depends is what needs the specified port to build or run.
I'm not getting anything back for dependentof. But depof (or rdepof) is what
the specified port needs to build or run.
examples:
port echo depends:vim
neovim-qt
p5-text-vimcolor
py-neovim
rails.vim
libvmaf
gutils-suite-core
mpvim
neovim-remote
nvimpager
vim2html
vimpager
dosfstools
(what directly depends on vim to build or run)
port echo depof:vim
gettext
libiconv
ncurses
(what vim needs to build or run)
