CUPS is intentionally split into several ports so that the parts that other ports depend on (cups-base) can be installed separately from the front-end (cups-lpr) and the only port that depends on the front-end is the meta-port, which itself has no dependents. You should consider this a golden opportunity to try out CUPS, which is much easier to set up than the base system's lpd, and has far better support for modern printers (including the ability to configure printer options such as resolution, quality, duplex etc.).
