It would be nice if the ports make options were better documented, but=20
you can read through /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk and find information
on the various options.=20

here is an example:

# all-depends-list
#                         - Show all directories which are dependencies
#                                 for this port.

then

cd /usr/ports/lang/ezm3/
make all-depends-list

result:

/usr/ports/converters/libiconv
/usr/ports/devel/gettext
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/libtool15
