If you go into /var/db/pkg/libgmp-4.1.4_1 you'll see a file called 
+REQUIRED_BY. Read it (cat "+REQUIRED_BY") to see which ports require libgmp.

You usually do not have to rebuild those ports unless there was a major change 
in the library. It's up to you to know if you need to rebuild them or not.
