Nobody?

I'm asking because I would like to add support for more OpenBSD 
platforms to racket. If I could to compile racket without the 
dependencies, just with a C compiler, it will help me a lot.

I'm not interested in to give support to the GUI on some platforms 
because probably nobody will run drracket on a headless computer :) . 
And probably cairo or gtk will have problems on some old platforms, so 
the package won't compile because doesn't have the dependencies.

So, basically I'm asking if racket 6 (and raco pkg) can work correctly 
without gtk, cairo, pango and others deps. Obviously raco can't generate 
docs but this isn't important. Any help?.
