I have no clue how you could possibly support typesetting without shipping any fonts or some basic files. I'm not saying that you need to depend on a working 4 GB installation of TeX Live or that you need to use TDS, but you *will* need some subset of files somewhere, you'll probably have to install some small subset of TeX Live tree along with your package in any case.
