I ran into that problem as well. It seems plone.app.event does require 
p.a.portlets >= 2.5.1.

It seems this problem has been taken care of with p.a.portlets 2.5.1:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.portlets/2.5.1

What if we would ship the next minor Plone 4.3.x release with a KGS of 
p.a.contenttypes and p.a.event (as we did for Dexterity before we 
shipped with it).

If you don't install those packages it won't hurt anyone and if you want 
to install them you can just do it by adding plone.app.contenttypes to 
the eggs section.

Cheers,
