Or just take the output from pkg_info directly; portmaster will figure
out the dependencies on its own, so including the non-leaf ports is no
problem.  The other tools (e.g., portupgrade) will do the same thing.

Seems like a one-liner of a shell script.  Maybe something like;
# cd /usr/ports; for portname in `cat /path/to/port/list` ; do (cd $portname; make config) ; done
(untested)

My one-liner assumes a similar list.

A brute force approach is to feed the whole list into portinstall (or
portmaster, etc.).
