Similar attempt was once proposed and then declined.

There are many people who dislike huge cups-base package
to be added to default dependency of ghostscript package.
On the other hand, it's sorrowful if every CUPS user must
rebuild ghostscript from ports tree.

Parhups the most easy way to resolve CUPS issue would be
splitting cups-pstoraster port to -gnu and -gpl. It isn't
so elegant solution, though.
