You could record all the shared libraries used by a port as comments in
the +CONTENTS list when it is packaged.  Adding code to run ldd(1)
against the files installed by the port and processing the results
shouldn't be too hard.  Then portmaster(8) et al could have a way of
telling precisely what needed to be rebuilt for this sort of shlib
version bump.
