CMake recently (September 2014 I guess) started to depend on py27-Sphinx port for its documentation. I actually don't use python on my server, but CMake builds and installs it and its 9 other dependencies just to build its documentation, even though I chose not to build and/or install the documentation.
This is really annoying, have to keep 9 ports up to date just so CMake can build its own documentation that I won't ever read.
I can't get rid of the CMake, as it is needed to build mysql. I just want to get rid of the Sphinx and its dependencies. All help will be highly appreciated.

I have figured this out thanks to @citrin's comment.
Adam Weinberger reported this as a bug here.
He also provided two patches for two different desirable options: pre-building the man pages, or building cmake without them. I opted for the latter one.
The attachment here includes little fixes to the Makefile and pkg-plist of the corresponding port. I just updated my cmake Makefile and pkg-plist with the new lines, and voila! There was another config option for manpages, and after I chose not to build with manpages, the dependency disappeared.
