Apple: Snow Leopard
I upgraded to Snow Leopard today. The upgrader refused to run until I deleted my Linux partition:

When trying to install Snow Leopard, some people are having a problem where the installer will not recognize the current boot drive as a valid destination for Snow Leopard. Instead, it will display the drive with a yellow triangle on it, indicating something is wrong with that drive. When the drive is selected, the installer claims the system cannot boot from the drive. From cnet.There's more about the issue here. Once I upgraded, I found out that when you upgrade OS X, you have to install all your MacPorts from scratch. Hence, I didn't get much work done today. On the bright side, I really like one of the new backgrounds! ;)

I guess you could "sudo port installed" and go through each one, but it would be nice if you just new the "leaves" of the dependency tree so that you just install them and it pulls in everything else.
Man, don't I know it!

I think "sudo port installed" is the only option available. I don't think it tracks dependencies in the way you've suggested. (Although Debian does.) I remember reading that you should run "sudo port installed" and manually remove from the list the things that you don't care about because they're dependencies.
