Groff, atf (or parts of it), and libunwind probably - as they contain C++
code.

Yes, sure - look at your dmesg and remove everything from the config file
that is not needed. A trimmed down kernel does not affect userland or
pkgsrc usually (besides the obvious things: if you remove NFS, you won't
be able to use it, same goes for INET6 or some of the pseudo-devices like
bpf).
