This is feature of new IPS based install and net repositorires:

When you install one pkg from IPS based repository its dependencies are 
automaticaly taken in account. Yoy can try install one pacage, but get 10 
packages by depend selection !

As you can see this issue in my try to build CLI JeOS (Just Enought OS - 
minimalized OS) from OpenSolaris Indiana line, 
http://blogs.sun.com/VirtualGuru/entry/warm_welcome_opensolaris_on_amazon 
OpenSolaris on Amazon EC2 Workshop

There I am trying to put all packages list on "pkg install" line and after 
their install for figure out what packages was selected by 'depend'.

Basically if you REALY wan't wery small system (like to write it to FLASH disk) 
you can unistall packages, but to have system with brocken dependecies is open 
way to hell.

If I will be short on install space I will personaly try to use ZFS compression 
first , rather to brake pkg dependencies !

This was my 10c
