Hello. When I make deinstall a port I often get the message:
port xxx depends on this port, but I'll still deinstall it anyway.
That's really frustrating. I'd like to be able to know who depends on it 
before de-installing it. Any suggestions?

Look through the handbook I didn't find an answer.

Go inside your /var/db/pkg/<package name> and looke for the +REQUIRED BY 
file and there you have it. If you have one the ports you can use 
pkg_info -R <port name> and it will display the information.
