Just thought I'd give the OP the benefit of the doubt and bring this
back on track (if only for posterity's sake): I've had graphics/libGL
installed on a new HTPC since 01/10/2016, a week prior to this
thread. Neither Bazaar nor Git are installed on the system, nor is any
such run-time or build-time dependency listed on the Freshports page,
nor is any such dependency or build-time option listed in the outpout of
`pkg info libGL`.  I'm curious how the OP discovered these "unexpected
dependencies."
