Is there a way to build only the port from source, and install dependencies from packages with the make command?

I won't claim it's especially "easy," but within the port directory --
prior to attempting to build the port -- one can run:

	make missing

to find out what dependencies are needed.  Given that list, one could
conceivably install the requisite packages.

Caveat: I have not actually done this.
