A little exploration of the Makefiles shows this to be false. :-(

In net/samba you have

So for samba, you just need to make with WITHOUT_CUPS=1 and samba 3 with 
WITH_CUPS=0, either on the make line or through pkgtools.conf (portupgrade).

CUPS support is *not* required for samba to support Unix printing unless 
you need CUPS to support your printer for whatever reason.
