Fixed in CVS. flameeyes: Not only Canna users but also Anthy users install this package, and Anthy users do not need binary dictionary for canna nor canna-{server,utils} installed. (I myself do not use Canna but Anthy, and I don't need to install canna at all) That's the point of the canna USE flag for this package ;-)
The problem is that most of those canna dictionaries seems not to build without canna packages, I suppose the simplest solution would be to have a CANNA_REQUIRED variable to enable/disable the useflag in the eclass (for KDE we do a similar thing).
Is it really the case? I've just checked canna-{2ch,cannadic,zipcode,canada-med,shion} and only canna-shion doesn't build without canna. (due to the absence of appropriate use flag checking when calling mkbindic) These packages do not have to build dictionaries if canna use flag is not set since Anthy only needs text style dictionary.
