I don't know about that, but you could get the list by doing something 
like this in borne shell variants:


pkg_info | awk '{print $1}' | sort >/tmp/before.txt
# change to the pkg dir you want
cd /usr/pkgsrc/category/foobar
# or bmake if you are not on netbsd
make install
# Store the list of packages now that it's done
pkg_info | awk '{print $1}' | sort >/tmp/after.txt
# Diff them and make passages
NEW_PACKAGES=`diff /tmp/before.txt /tmp/after.txt | grep '>' | awk '{print $2}'`
for PKG in $NEW_PACKAGES ; do
  pkg_tarup -d . $PKG
done

The problem with this approach is that if there was a dependancy which 
you'd already had built, it wouldn't get "detected" this way. So, it's not 
perfect.

You might try making a pkgsrc sandbox then building there. That way you 
know everything that got built there was something you needed as a dep of 
your main package. Check out /usr/pkgsrc/mksandbox and friends.
