You need akonadi to access > calendar (kcal) and addressbook (kabc) as of KDE SC 4.4. So that kdepim- > runtime injection is rather logical.

It is linked to libkcal/libkabc because it is possible to mark an item as lent to someone, who can be picked from the KDE address book, and to add to the calendar the date at which they should be returned. So definitely not a core feature, and tellico has been working with KDE 4 and without akonadi for some time now.
