How about an extended deinstall target (like: deinstall tree) that
deletes orphaned dependencies of a port? 

Suppose FOO has dependencies BAR_1, BAR_2 and BAR_3. Another installed
package, FOO_2 depends on BAR_2 and BAR_4. 

If I run this extended deinstall target on FOO, BAR_1 and BAR_3 get
deinstalled too, becuase nothing else depends on them. BAR_2 gets
left alone.
