I didn't know about that. What I have done is use the
print-build-depends target. For example, on my machine:
$ cd /usr/ports/telephony/asterisk
$ make print-build-depends
This port requires package(s) "libssh2-1.9.0 bzip2-1.0.8 lynx-2.8.9rel1p0
libusb1-1.0.21p1 npth-1.6 pcre2-10.33 ..." to build.
Then you can copy/paste, or otherwise feed the stuff in between the
quote marks, to pkg_add. I do:
# make print-build-depends | awk -F \" '{print $2}' | xargs pkg_add
Then proceed with building/installing the port of interest.
