Well, necessary part of CUPS is just the headers and
shared libraries in print/cups-base. print/cups-lpr
isn't required unless you really want to print with
entire CUPS environment. You normally don't have to
aware existence of CUPS and work with default lpr.

As far as the difference is only dependency of one
or two shared libraries, increasing numbers of slave
ports might be a bad idea for me. In addtion, I
personally think that shared library support shouldn't
be disabled by default if there is no paticular reason.
