I use pkg_info -Rr <pkg_name>, where <pkg_name> is the exact name of the 
package. The -Rr options will tell you what the package depends on, and 
what depends on the package. To find the exact package name, I do (for 
example) pkg_info | grep firefox, which returns:
  firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
...and the I know to do pkg_info -Rr firefox-1.5.0.1_1,1

HTH.
