Samba 4.x pulls in quite a few extra deps compared to Samba 3.x, and GnuTLS=
 is
one of them. However, it does not seem necessary in every case. In fact, it
seems that it's only necessary for AD DC functionality. From
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_Source:

Building the AD DC requires
GnuTLS (eg libgnutls-dev, gnutls-devel) for ldaps:// support and for the
BackupKey protocol

I played around with both 4.4.x and an experimental port of 4.5.1, and both
built and ran fine (4.5.1 less fine for unrelated reasons) with both AD DC =
and
GnuTLS explicitly disabled. Three less ports to install and upgrade, and th=
ree
less reasons to shudder in fear of major version changes.
