Hi Baptiste,

Actually, the only port I have installed that marked archivers/rpm as a 
runtime requirement is x11-wm/wmakerconf, which I see now uses archivers/rpm4
so I may not need archivers/rpm any more.  Not 100% sure to be honest since
only runtime dependancies are recorded in /var/db/pkg.

Thanks,

Gary
