pkg_info -n /path/to/binaries/kdebase4-4.4.4nb1.tgz

-n will give the list of dependencies

But it won't list the dependencies of dependencies, so you could do this 
a step at a time.

Also look at pkg_summary (gz or bz2) file also located in the All 
download directory. It is one file where you can quickly look. A tool 
that can use this is pkgin (maybe someone can patch it to offer download 
only) or my proof of concept in wip/pkg_get (which can do download 
only).
