aKregator only requires kdepim. The Kontact integration is optional. Perhaps a USE flag to disable Kontact integration (or even just letting ./configure figure it out) could be added?

We need deterministic dependencies. When you create a patch so we have such a configure flag and you get it accepted upstream, feel free to reopen. Otherwise, no, not possible and we don't care about the ~2MB kontact libs .
Please reopen (don't have the permission to reopen this myself). See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137220

A requested by comment #3, reopening.
This is just smart hack. No, I don't see a point in it.
