The reinstall of gtk20 (which was newly missing a dependency) depended upon 
ibus for the install, but ibus depends
on gtk20...

gtk20 )  make -k install
ibus ) pkg_delete && make package
gtk20 ) make package

And the rebuild of roxterm, which was missing a vte rebuild, which was missing 
a pango rebuild.   This occurs
here at least once a year or so...

Here UPDATING usually cannot be followed...  that lists over 300 ports needing 
pixman; I only
use several of them daily, and only had to rebuild a few.

I'm used to these unexpected less-than-full-rebuild extra-rebuilds occuring,  
but am wondering if FreeBSD could more
precisely anticipate them in the UPDATING instructions someday.  [Revising the 
"portmaster -r pixman" since that may take
several days, and in two hours I'm already done with it AFAIK.]

[Tangentally, has anyone using pkg only, run across the same situation and 
resolved it with any ease and repeatable
instructions to the ports list??? ]

I'm aways using pkg_libchk from sysutils/bsdadminscripts to check system after update. I gives a number of false positives but besides that it's quite sharp on what ports really deserve rebuilding.
