The problem in this case is that the BIND documentation is formatted using sphinx and Read the Docs, which pulls in a large part of the python ecosystem, and various graphics rendering programs. These in turn pull in ghostscript, cups and others. That said, some ports come with separate DOCS and MANPAGES options, but this is unfortunately not the case with dns/bind920. -Dimitry
