Portupgrade installs several pkg_* tools [1].  The pkg_glob and
pkg_sort tools might be what you're looking for.  Here's an
example:

  pkg_glob [package names] | pkg_sort

This produces a list for update order.  The man pages are quite
helpful for the pkg_* tools.

HTH,

Randy


[1]  Run "pkg_info -L portupgrade-\*" to see the complete packing
     list for portupgrade.
