mesa has no dependents.

gtk2 depends on gdk-pixbuf2

Hmm, so mesa is one of them, and nothing depends on mesa (so who asked for it / why is it there?)
But also gtk2. I thought gtk3 was the current version -- gtk2 isn't even maintained if I understood correctly.
keybounceMBP:Mlp michael$ port dependents gtk2
gtk2 has no dependents.
And who asked for it?</pre>

A few possibilities that I can think of:<br>
<br>
1) You installed it explicitly (check port list requested)<br>
2) It used to be a dependency, but isn't any more (dependent package
was upgraded and dependencies changed; dependent package was
uninstalled; dependent package variant was changed to not need it)<br>
3) It is a build-time dependency. A build dependency is only needed
during building, and once building (install) is complete, the
build-time dependency is no longer required. It would seem probably
not in this case.<br>
<br>
If you just want to clean cruft, you can 'port uninstall leaves' a
couple of times (the first uninstall would/might uninstall meta,
which would then make xorg-libX11 a leaf, so the second iteration
would remove that). Repeat until there are no leaves.<br>
<br>
Once there are no leaves, any package installed should either have
dependencies or be requested (by you).<br>
