Weird. As far as I know, antiword doesn't have any dependencies.

Type
	make run-depends-list

Not easily -- if you started with a clean tree, you can check which
directories now have a work directory:
	ls -d /usr/pkgsrc/*/*/work*

I don't think so.

I'm not sure what you mean: If the ftp server for the distribution
files is too slow, and you're right now downloading a file, there's no
automatic way to stop the download and get the rest of the file from a
different distribution site; just cancel the download, delete the
partially fetched distfile and modify the MASTER_SORT,
MASTER_SORT_REGEX and/or MASTER_SITE_* variables in /etc/mk.conf (see
pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example).

Hope this helps,
 Thomas
