try this one:

	# cd /var/db/pkg
	# ls -rt */+BUILD_INFO | xargs awk '/PKGPATH/{print$2}' > foo

that'll print a list of pkg sub directories in the order that the
+BUILD_INFO files were installed, which typically indicates dependency
ordering properly.  then, later, you can simply

	# for i in `cat foo`; do
	> cd /usr/pkgsrc/$i
	> make install && make clean
	> done

and you should be covered.
