Maybe I misunderstand what relationship you are thinking of between
these ports, but 'portupgrade -rf dependency-A-0.0' would do
dependency-A, then masterPort, just as below.  Are you confusing -r
with -R (which upgrades ports 'in the other direction in the
dependency tree')?  If I'm misunderstanding what you mean, can you
spell it out with clearer Makefile fragments (i.e. what RUN_DEPENDS on
what)?
