This is slighly more complex than
  cd /usr/ports && \
  for i in */*; do [ -d "$i" ] && cd "$i" && make all-depends-list ; done | \
  grep jpeg
because you need to actually follow the dependency tree, but is not
impractical.  The only issues I can see with this approach are:
1) Mapping the shared library reported by 'make lib-depends' back to the
   port than installs it.
2) You are relying on LIB_DEPENDS being correct:  In my general example
   above, if A is missing a LIB_DEPENDS on C, this may not be detected
   in the build process because of the implicit dependency on C via B.

No sample script because I'm not sure of the correct approach to 1) off
the top of my head.

Doing (1) using my p5-FreeBSD-Portindex code is pretty easy.  It's about

the LIB_DEPENDS linkages already stored in the cache and lists each port

time I released an update anyhow -- I'll code up a little app that processes that has a LIB_DEPENDS, together with all the ports it depends on cumulatively.

I've got this working now -- I still need to do some more testing, update
documentation and stuff before I release version 2.2 of p5-FreeBSD-Portindex,
but as a taster, here's the result of generating this on my machine just now:

  http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/SHLIBS.bz2

(Note that this includes the effect of a number of local settings in
/etc/make.conf)

It's similar to the ports INDEX file, when decompressed.  There's one row of


  package-name|port/origin|space separated list of lib_depends port origins

So, to extract the list of ports depending on www/jpeg:

happy-idiot-talk:/tmp:% grep graphics/jpeg SHLIBS | cut -d '|' -f 1-2 | head -10
accerciser-1.6.1_1|/usr/ports/accessibility/accerciser
at-poke-0.2.3_4|/usr/ports/accessibility/at-poke
at-spi-1.26.0_1|/usr/ports/accessibility/at-spi
dasher-4.10.1_1,2|/usr/ports/accessibility/dasher
gnome-mag-0.15.8|/usr/ports/accessibility/gnome-mag
gnopernicus-1.1.2_6|/usr/ports/accessibility/gnopernicus
gok-2.26.0_1,1|/usr/ports/accessibility/gok
kdeaccessibility-3.5.10_2|/usr/ports/accessibility/kdeaccessibility
kdeaccessibility-4.2.4_1|/usr/ports/accessibility/kdeaccessibility4
mousetweaks-2.26.3_1|/usr/ports/accessibility/mousetweaks

Again, this has a number of deficiencies.  For instance, programs that
embed a perl interpreter will link against libperl.so => 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.0/mach/CORE/libperl.so, but none of them register
a LIB_DEPENDS on lang/perl5.10. [See for example net-mgmt/net-snmpd,
www/mod_perl2]


no compiled ELF binaries [See net-mgmt/cacti databases/phpmyadmin]

However, I think that the deficiencies are not too intractable to fix,
and this approach shows some promise.

        Cheers,

        Matthew

the file for each port, and each row contains 3 fields separated by '|' characters: Similarly, programs that declare 'USE_MYSQL=NN' will have a LIB_DEPENDS on libmysqlclient.so.X added to their dependency mix even if they contain
