I'm a little sceptical that it's installed by anything:

$ find /usr/ports/ -iname Makefile |xargs grep -i "xbanner" |grep -Ev "^/usr/ports/x11/xbanner/"
/usr/ports/x11/Makefile:    SUBDIR += xbanner


Having said that dependencies often do depend on the order the leaves
are installed, because some ports will use alternate dependencies
according to what's already there. It makes things a lot easier to
maintain.
