 This is for MacPorts version 1.9.0-rc2.

 I set my requested ports and ran the command "port list leaves".  This
 came up with a longer list than I expected.  I investigated and it quickly
 became clear that something odd was up.  The list contains many packages
 which are dependents of my requested ports.  For example, automake is
 required by ImageMagick.  However:
 {{{
 [/Users/swebster at swmb]$ port dependents automake
 automake has no dependents.
 }}}
 and another example:
 {{{

 [/Users/swebster at swmb]$ port dependents gnome-common
 gnome-common has no dependents.
 }}}
 but gnome-common is required by gimp.
 {{{

 [/Users/swebster at swmb]$ port list requested
 gimp                           @2.6.7          graphics/gimp
 git-core                       @1.7.1          devel/git-core
 gri                            @2.12.18        science/gri
 gwyddion                       @2.19           science/gwyddion
 ImageMagick                    @6.6.2-0        graphics/ImageMagick
 wine-devel                     @1.2-rc2        x11/wine-devel
 }}}
