I did, and don't have that dependency.  I also looked (somewhat quickly,
admittedly) through the makefiles for a way it could be optionally
produced, and didn't come up with anything.

If you want help, assuming that people are idiots is not going to get
you very far.  Especially when most of us can't reproduce what you're
seeing.  Perhaps you have an older set of ports?  If you can figure out
where the dependency came from on your system, it would be a start
towards other people being able to provide advice.

Good luck.
