[mfaridi]

I think I can not do this with portmaster

I believe this is possible. Check the man page: portmaster().

Try doing # portmaster -tRf mc. You might want to remove or keep -R.

# pkg_info -rx mc
<read through dependency list>
# portmaster -f mc <list of ports to update, taken from list of dependencies>

To rebuild a port and all ports that it depends on (recursive up), use # portmaster -Rf [i]port[/i]. Add other flags for specific options.

To rebuild a port and all ports that depend on it (recursive down), use # portmaster -Rr [i]port[/i]. Add other flags for specific options.

To rebuild or upgrade a port (without any dependencies), use # portmaster [i]port[/i]. Add other flags for specific options.

Do not combine these upward/downward flags ( -Rrf doesn't work).
