Now that's odd.  I'm pretty sure that the whole message came back to me.

First, create tlist, a list of all ports that are required by any 
other ports by checking for the +REQUIRED_BY:

ls /var/db/pkg/*/+REQ* | sed -e "s/-.*//" -e "s/^.*\///" > tlist


The sed strips off the leading pathname, and everything from the - on.

The command that you got used this file (-f) with a negative match (-v) to 
find all the other ports (upon which nothing depends).

You could do more matching when building tlist if you want (e.g., 
ls /var/db/pkg/*jdk*/*/+REQ*).
