Years ago, a similar problem (the long time needed to build dependencies 
for documentation) led to the definition of this in our Poudriere setup:

    OPTIONS_UNSET= X11 GUI CUPS DOCS EXAMPLES NLS

The resulting packages are for headless machines, build is faster, the 
resulting packages are smaller, dependency chain is shorter, install and 
upgrade times are shorter. The disadvantage is that many build 
dependencies have different options than in the official repository, so 
they cannot be pre-fetched and must also be built.
