There are usually other items, like config files, that would be missing.
You would also miss updates because OpenPKG wouldn't know about Kerberos
anymore after you deinstall the package but leave a possibly working
library linked to some other package behind.
If there is a dependency then it must be made explicit (i.e. using an
option).
