I wouldn't call 40 of 3000 a lot (about 1.3%) have a dependency on rpm.
That's an overestimate of those that actually use rpm files to build the
port as I just counted the number of ports that came up w/ a "make search
key=rpm".  As for actually grabbing rpms and installing them I believe
there are 5 only ports that do this:

	linux_devtools
	linux_base
	popt
	xgammon
	logrotate
	
5 out of 3000 is not "many" in my book!
