Specific example.. doing a portsnap and build of devel/subversion out
of the box, you get:

===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
	Install devel/subversion
	Install databases/sqlite3
	Install devel/pkgconf
	Install devel/apr1
	Install converters/libiconv
	Install devel/libtool
	Install databases/db42
	Install databases/gdbm
	Install devel/gmake
	Install devel/gettext
	Install devel/autoconf
	Install devel/autoconf-wrapper
	Install devel/m4
	Install lang/perl5.14
	Install misc/help2man
	Install devel/p5-Locale-gettext
	Install devel/automake
	Install devel/automake-wrapper
	Install lang/python27
	Install textproc/expat2
	Install www/neon29

You can thin it down a bit by turning off a few bits..  neon->serf
helps a little but not much.  Trimming some runtime (vs buildtime)
grandchildren like apr's gdbm/bdb modules trims some license
dependencies.  I'll update that list when the build is finished.
