List of installed MacPorts without dependencies

When I do port installed, I get useless list of hundreds of items. However, only a handful of these are ports I actually installed first-hand. The rest are dependencies that I have no need to relate directly to.

Is there a way to list only the ports I actually installed, ie. those I typed in on the command line manually? Like a top level node list or installation history file or something?

To get a list of literally all installed ports that nothing depends on, you can run

for port in $(port echo installed | awk '{print $1}'); do [ -z "$(port echo installed and depends:$port)" ] && echo $port; done

(warning: this will take a while).

MacPorts has the concept of requested and unrequested ports.

Try port installed requested.

See man 1 port for more information on 'requestedness' and pseudo-targets.
