I checked '*.el' files of emacs-w3m-emacs-nox11-1.4.598.b.20170903_2
and found following lines in
${PREFIX}${EMACS_VERSION_SITE_LISPDIR}/w3m/octet.el that is
installed when OCTET_VIEWER option is enabled.
yasu@eastasia[2305]% less -N /usr/local/share/emacs/25.3/site-lisp/w3m/octet.el

65 ;;; Code:
66
67 (eval-when-compile
68 (require 'cl))
69
70 (require 'poe) ; for compatibility
71 (require 'pces) ; as-binary-process
72 (require 'mime) ; SEMI
73 (require 'static)
74 (require 'w3m-util); w3m-insert-string
At line 72 'mime' is required, and this feature is provided by
semi. So if OCTET_VIEWER option is enabled www/emacs-w3m depends on
editors/semi.
Regards.
