The PPD file you downloaded has the cupsomatic dependency in it, it's
not required by the cups base system.

Yes, you could create a separate port for it, although I think
cupsomatic may have been replaced by foomatic these days, which is
already in the ports (but it too is missing the foomatic-rip and
foomatic-gswrapper filter scripts).
