Have you checked

# man portinstall

with a /-R you will find
     -R
     --upward-recursive     Act on all those packages required by the given
                            packages as well. (When specified with -F, fetch
                            recursively, including the brand new, 
uninstalled
                            ports that an upgraded port requires)

and just for fun because it could be confusing later /-r

     -r
     --recursive            Act on all those packages depending on the given
                            packages as well.

I tend to like -u -P -p -a -i on different occasions also.

provecho - enjoy,
