These are the dependencies of libdbi-drivers, and I think that's mostly clients. The only thing I would complain about is getting whole postgresql-server but there are open bugs for that already. Please start by removing unnecessary USE flags from libdbi-drivers, and then let me know if anything unexpected is left.
Use emerge -vta to figure out what is pulling in what. This certainly isn't a bug in syslog-ng.
