That's straightforward to do with a jdepend.properties file. I exclude everything not in the current project.

You might be able to do that with the XSLT, creating a subgraph around the package(s) you're interested in.

I think you could do that by using XPath expressions into the JDepend output. We use that to detect cycles. It's pretty straightforward using either Ant or Maven.
