I had this problem in the past too and it was not related to any 
required dependencies. After pkg install finished the installation of 
wanted package and unwanted unrelated packages next call to "pkg 
autoremove" deinstalled those unwanted packages (it means nothing needs 
them). But next pkg install put them back. This problem disappeared 
after a few month after complete reinstall of all packages by pkg 
upgrade -f (after system upgrade).
