Comment (by Dave-Allured):

 `groff` is used by other ports.  Changing `openldap` did not make `groff`
 go away, so the load for `wget` did not get any lighter!

 This `openldap` experience suggests that man page builders may be an easy
 target for more dependency reduction.  I think I will next look at `xorg-
 libXaw`, and see why it wants `groff`.  I also wonder whether libproxy ->
 vala could be lightened.

 @lcvisser would you like to pick up on any of these?
