What if a port now has a new dependency?

But back to 'r',

My system shows this:

---------------------------------------------------
$ pkg_info -xR openldap
Information for openldap-client-2.2.29:

Required by:
bluefish-1.0.4
dirmngr-0.9.2
gnome-menus-2.10.2_1
gnomevfs2-2.10.1_1
gnupg-devel-1.9.19
gtksourceview-1.2.1
libbonoboui-2.10.1
libgnomeui-2.10.1_1
rox-2.3
samba-libsmbclient-3.0.20_2
---------------------------------------------------

Just to be clear on this, if I do...

# portupgrade -r openldap-client

...all those listed ports will be recompiled whether they need to be
or not?  That seems mighty inefficient.
