Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:30 blb@…]:
 > What base could use is some sort of {{{force_rebuild_dependents}}}
 option in a port's Portfile, which would cause all dependent ports to be
 rebuilt when the given port is installed.  There have been a few instances
 where this would be useful, but it is otherwise somewhat esoteric.
 I have proposed something like that in #17473.
