"make depends" will "build and install > dependencies". What if I want just build them? So to build A which depends on B, B has to be installed. So if you update all of pkgsrc, you are back to doing a build of what you want, and then make replace when it builds a dependency. If you want to build everything first then use a second machine or a chroot.
