I think the extra dependencies that you find listed for syslinux:

come directly from mtools ...
Yeah. It looks like mtools uses X11 by default, which IMHO is
incorrect. Instead it should have an option to turn X11 _on_,
rather than one for turning it _off_, as it currently does.
IMO it is a POLA violation for mtools to depend on X11 *at all*.
Instead of having an option, maybe the port should be split so that
mtools itself just provides the code to access FAT filesystems, and
(say) mtools-gui does the fancy display stuff.
That sounds like a reasonable course of action. I've cc'ed the maintainer
to get their opinion.
