Two things, and read the ebuilds.
1. the *DEPENDS from the ebuild:
============
RDEPEND=">=dev-libs/glib-2.6
>=dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.61
kernel_linux? ( >=sys-fs/udev-104 )
kernel_linux? ( >=sys-apps/util-linux-2.12r-r1 )
kernel_linux? ( >=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.17 )
kernel_FreeBSD? ( dev-libs/libvolume_id )
>=dev-libs/expat-1.95.8
>=sys-apps/pciutils-2.2.3
>=dev-libs/libusb-0.1.10a
sys-apps/usbutils
virtual/eject
amd64? ( >=sys-apps/dmidecode-2.7 )
x86? ( >=sys-apps/dmidecode-2.7 )
ia64? ( >=sys-apps/dmidecode-2.7 )
dell? ( >=sys-libs/libsmbios-0.13.4 )
disk-partition? ( <=sys-apps/parted-1.8.6 )
kernel_linux? ( crypt? ( || ( >=sys-fs/cryptsetup-1.0.5
>=sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.1 ) ) )
selinux? ( sys-libs/libselinux
sec-policy/selinux-hal )"
# pam? ( sys-auth/consolekit )"
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
dev-util/pkgconfig
>=dev-util/intltool-0.35
doc? ( app-doc/doxygen
app-text/docbook-sgml-utils
app-text/xmlto )"
PDEPEND="app-misc/hal-info"
============
2. Just because an ebuild has a certain USE flag does not means that it
will want to install a closely related daemon. USE=acpi is there to
enable some supported acpi feature in hal, which does not necessarily
have to have acpid installed to do it. The reason for that will be
peculiar to and unique to hal itself. RTFS for more info.
