Hmm, openldap-client require soelim as USE_TOOLS, then pull dependency on textproc/groff.
groff-docs option for groff pulls graphics dependency, and x11 option pulls x11 dependency.
You can set "PKG_OPTIONS.groff=-x11 -groff-docs" to avoid your unwanted installations.

If you do not want to install x11 stuff anywhere, you can put "-x11" to PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS.

If you want to confirm whole options in dependency packages, you can do "make show-depdns-options".
