The INSTALL file in zinf's distribution mentions that perl is required to build with assembly optimisations. The port's Makefile also contains USE_FREETYPE=YES although INSTALL claims freetype is "needed if you want the GTK+ GUI to look pretty". Neither Perl nor Freetype appear to be essential, but they both appear to enhance the quality of the port. If you want to, you could add flags along the lines of WITHOUT_PERL or WITHOUT_FREETYPE to give users a choice of how to build the port.
