Look at 'man pkg_create' and 'man pkg_add'. I just noticed that 'man pkg_add' on -current will close an xterm. If this happens, do it on a console. 'man pkg_add' has a fair description of the process, under technical details. Find a pkg in /var/db/pkg that has a +CONTENTS file. I just did a 'ls /var/db/pkg/* and found a few that had a +REQUIRED_BY file. The +REQUIRED_BY file lists packages that depend on this one. The +CONTENTS file will have entries that list packages that this one depends on. See '@pkgdep pkgname' in 'man pkg_create'.
