pkg_info lists packages in installed order. If you know the last thing
you installed, you can read the list of packages after it. Perhaps
pkg_info should have a Date of install display option.

pkg_info -R sounds like what you want, (depending on whether you meant
what got installed that I didn't already have, or what was needed, including
what I had) - but the sense is the reverse of what I expected.

make NO_DEPENDS=yes  will try to build, and ignore the deps, but it won't
prompt you. You could use this if you make a depends list and install all
of that first... but why?

If the builds take longer than you'd like, you could always use the binary
packages.
