Portupgrade installs several pkg_* tools [1]. The pkg_glob and
pkg_sort tools might be what you're looking for. Here's an
example:
pkg_glob [package names] | pkg_sort
This produces a list for update order. The man pages are quite
helpful for the pkg_* tools.

[1] Run "pkg_info -L portupgrade-\*" to see the complete packing
list for portupgrade.
