Kind of related to this topic. Is there any way I can find installed 
packages that are *not* required by any other packages?

Many a times while upgrading ports I've stumbled upon stuff that is no 
longer required by other packages but is still there ... (Possibly they 
were pulled in when I installed some package I wanted. Later I removed 
that, but forgot to remove this requirement package).
