pacman -Qi for a given package will show you optional dependencies and
list which ones are satisfied.

You can walk a dependency tree automatically and check for things which
have uninstalled optdepends, by installing community/pacutils and
running the command:

paccheck --opt-depends --quiet --recursive

with, optionally, the list of packages to do checks for. By default,
like pacman -Qi, it will interpret no explicitly specified packages as
"all installed packages".
