Well, not completely true; you need QT and ARTS.  KDE is not needed.  (Its
buildlink2.mk is in arts/buildlink2.mk, but commented out....)

But if you can turn it off in mk.conf, then there is no problem.  Binary
packages meant for public distribution should be built with no options set
and be fully functional; knobs to *turn off* some behaviors are acceptable
on a per-person basis.
