Comment(by devans@…):

 After looking a bit, yelp doesn't compress anything with lzma but can
 transparently convert files of mime-type
 application/x-lzma that are lzma compressed info and man files to the yelp
 html format.  A search of  /opt/local
 doesn't show any (and I have the full gnome set of packages installed) so
 it looks like it is safe to remove.

 Note however that this in one of those instances of opportunistic linking
 -- yelp will use liblzmadec if it
 finds it and will disable lzma support if it doesn't but has no configure
 option to unconditionally turn it off.

 The usual practice in this case has been to include the dependency to
 ensure that everyone's build works the same.
