You are still talking about run-time dependencies ?
Correct. And so, I'm not even sure that there /are/ any dependencies for them (not exactly things I know a heck of a lot about). But either way, the ports for gcc, glibc, binutils, ..will not have a populated Depends on: line because it is not recommended that users rebuild or update these ports in the first place. Thus, the ports tree is more-or-less uniform. All ports advertise runtime dependencies except for those belonging to the c build chain. In the users eyes, these are 'do not touch' anyway. Furthermore, setup simply maintains a list of what is necessary to have a functional install, and those are only preselected (not forced). The only classification for 'core' is 'I'm on the cd'.
