That should solve the OP's problem.  (I used to set
DEPENDS_TARGET=package-install
in mk.conf; is that no longer necessary?)

For the problem of simply *listing* all dependent packages, as brought
up by Swift, there's a target for that:

bmake show-depends

This will be much faster than actually building all the dependencies and
diffing. In general, https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/targets/, while
incomplete, can be quite helpful.
