Install sysutils/portmaster on the devel machine, and run it with the -l
option. That will give you a listing of your ports by category, based on
whether they have dependencies, or are depended on. You could then divide
your packages by category based on this information, and install them in
order accordingly with little danger of dependency mismatches.

Of course portmaster isn't a total solution to your problem, as it doesn't
deal with packages at this time, but it should at least help with this part
of the problem.

hope this helps,

Doug
