Yes, sorting the failed list by skipped count will give that info.

For comparison here is a recent amd64 head / ports tree head build
using the stock toolchain:
http://gohan2.ysv.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=head-amd64-default-baseline&build=p428161_s309723
In that case there are a total of 80 failed ports, 116 skipped. The
devel/sigar port was responsible for the largest number of skipped
ports (7).

The conference I'm at will be mad at me I try to download the result
file over the wifi. I suspect there are a small handful of failed
ports responsible for the bulk of the ~6000 additional skipped ports
in the LLD build.

> Though what unclear for me is for example "openal-soft-1.17.2" is a reason of 22 skipped ports, is that 22 a final value or each of that 22 can be a dependency for other N ports, so total number can be greater ?

Skipped includes all skipped packages attributable to the failure - so
those packages skipped directly due to the failing package, as well as
packages skipped because of skipped dependencies.
