pkg help delete says:
-R, --recursive
Delete all packages that require the listed packages as
well.
Also if the dependencies were installed as dependencies, just do an "pkg
autoremove" after deletion.
If not do some shell magic like:
pkg info -d gtk2 | tail -n+2 | awk '{ print $1 }' | xargs pkg delete
