I'm almost sure doxygen is happy with graphviz without any other deps than what is in the LFS book. Of course, if you want doxygen to generate PDF, JPEG, or PNG, you need additional deps, for graphviz as well as for doxygen. In this case, since you need the deps anyway, you can build them before graphviz. Also, I'd say that if you need doxygen for development, you are likely to need valadoc too... Furthermore, the time for buiding graphviz without optional deps is less than 1 SBU, so what the hell...
