That gives me some static information on the ports requirements. But I
would like a preview of what rests to be done. Some ports have a lot of
dependencies, most of them are already installed. Can ports also
incorporate the current state of installed packages?

Hi,
is it possible to do a real preview with portupgrade? I want to
see all
ports that would be installed/upgraded when installing a
particular port.
The --noexecute option doesn't really show me a lot. How would
this be done
with packages? pkg_add would have to download all packges first
to be able
to calculate all dependencies, or can it operate on an index file?

Hello !
Take a look at the 'ports' manpage and you will find a mean on how
to get useful information on the ports collection (configuring
building discover dependencies etc..) :
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE&format=html
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ports&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE&format=html>
Examples
* fetch-list
Show list of files to be fetched in order to build
the port.
* run-depends-list, build-depends-list
Print a list of all the compile and run
dependencies, and dependencies of those dependencies, by port directory.
etc...

Well, I don't know if there's already some pre-packaged tool to retrieve
the information you need.
In the worst case, I suppose one should set up a script that makes use
of that "static information" + the information provided by pkg_info to
reach the goal... but that's just a guess
