You could give http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~matthew/depresolver-001.tar.gz a try. It seemed to work for me on an up to date copy of the BLFS XML just now. As you allude to though, it's very much a case of Garbage In Garbage Out, so if the deps in the BLFS XML are inaccurate, so will the results of this dependency resolver be. It will print a tree out though, and doesn't get caught out by cyclic dependencies, but I don't think it explicitly identifies them. Cheers.
