Probably. I spent so much tome tracking down dependencies and re-installing
over 300 ports that I just punted and did 'portmaster -aDf' which took a LOT
less time.

Things like opens, libgcrypt, and gnutls get pulled onto so may things that
make any use of encryption and those line them get into apps that don't even
use encryption.
