For pkgsrc, you can use the install-depends target to, well, install all
pkgs that a given pkgs needs. For binary pkgs, if you just pkg_add it,
it'll take care to install the required pkgs to, or fail if that's not
possible. For any installed pkg, you cannot uninstall any of the needed
pkgs. Dunno if that's what  you were asking for, but that's how the
NetBSD pkg system works. :)
