For extractors we probably prefer fewer dependencies.devel/objfw has no dependencies if we build it with GCC. The problem is that some software requires it to be built with clang. We could have a special devel/objfw-gcc that installs into a different prefix and provides ofarc so that we have an extractor with no dependencies.
The thing I am more concerned about is that objfw is in Objective-C. Not all platforms have an Objective-C compiler built in, particularly older / more exotic ones. If we have to build a GCC with Objective-C support, that's a pretty hefty dependency.
Then again, zoo and lha distfiles are not common, in fact I learned today that we have these.
