So, to explain in more precise terms:
1. Change to the directory of the desired port you wish to
install.
# cd /usr/ports/security/nmap
2. Use the "target" as the argument to the make(1) command:
# make pretty-print-run-depends-list
... and you get a listing of runtime dependencies for the
port:
This port requires package(s) "pcre-6.4" to run
It may be worth noting that "make search" in the /usr/ports
directory also has this information:
# cd /usr/ports && make search name=nmap
Port: nmap-3.93
Path: /usr/ports/security/nmap
Info: Port scanning utility for large networks
