Try pkgsrc-wip/pkg_rmleaves.  "pkg_rmleaves -a" presents you a list of
all leaf-packages which have been installed (a)utomatically (i.e. as a
dependency of other packages).  Once you've removed a first round of
leaf-packages, it shows you a list of new leaf-packages, i.e. packages
that have become leafs since the previous round, and so on.
