Both,
make pretty-print-run-depends-list,
make pretty-print-build-depends-list
 can help you out.

I don't know of anything in base that does it, but what I've done is use 
this script (it's not perfect)

#!/bin/sh
#
# Much love Min1ster
#
for i in `make pretty-print-build-depends-list | awk -F\" '{print $2 }'`
do
hasit=`pkg_info -E $i`
if [ -z $hasit ]; then
echo "$i is not installed"
else
:
# (not needed)echo "Everythings there, dude"
fi
done

I have two of them, one with build and one with run deps (called.. 
checkbuild.sh and checkrun.sh)

Hope this helps some.

Jimmie
