I would like to know if it is possible to remove a port/package and all
of the dependencies it installed that are not needed by other applications.

Example: I installed Nautilus and some Gnome games but don't want them
installed any longer.  However, if I remove the package itself, doesn't
it leave all of the other dependencies out there?

Upgrading my system takes forever now that there are a ton of libs and
such installed by these applications.  So, if anyone can point me in the
right direction for doing this I would greatly appreciate it.
