Funny. It works for me:

crooksa@sys2:/u/crooksa/NetBSD/nb-pkgsrc/print/lyx> bmake print-depends-list
This port requires package(s) "dialog-0.6z gmake-3.77 gtexinfo-3.12 ispell-3.1.20 ncurses-1.9.9g perl-5.00404 teTeX-0.4p8 xforms-0.88 xpm-3.4k" to build.
crooksa@sys2:/u/crooksa/NetBSD/nb-pkgsrc/print/lyx>

(and that's on a Solaris 2.6 box)

I'm sure I'm missing something here, though. Whenever I install
packages by building, it builds and installs any pre-requisites
that aren't already installed.

And you can always make binary packages and use pkg_add to install
them on the target box.
