 The poppler port does not really need to depend on gtk2. There is only one
 binary linked against libgtk, which is a demo and can be removed without
 loosing functionality (actually, it always resulted in a "Segmentation
 fault" in my tests):

 {{{
 $ port contents poppler |grep -E '/opt/local/(bin|lib/.*\.dylib)' |xargs
 otool -L |grep -B13 gtk
 /opt/local/bin/poppler-glib-demo:
 ...
         /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib (compatibility version
 2401.0.0, current version 2401.8.0)
 }}}

 To be honest, this change does not cut the dependency tree more than gtk2
 itself. But as gtk2 is a big port, I think the reduction is significant
 enough to vindicate this change.
