2) Is there a way/option to see what will port install something do, which dependencies will be included in the installation?
No, there was a recent discussion about the usefulness of such a "pretend" or "dry run" feature. There were no objections but no cheering crowds either. You could be one more supporter of such a feature request. Best if you were able to implement it, because I believe that is why we dont have this feature yet - it takes a skillful person to make it happen.
I know it's not quite the same, but in case Jaroslav doesn't know about it: you can at least use the "port deps" command to see what the dependencies are. Dan
