You need to pick a much more complicated set of dependencies than
Xorg.

You should analyse the dependency tree across all ports and then
take into account what happens when source changes occur
unsynchronised.

Take things like those that depend on the various Qt ports. You will
see that some depend on Qt3 and others on Qt4.

Then consider things that depend on the documentation ports.

Please do not fall into the trap of simplifying the requirements
and then finding a simpler solution.
