It probably can be done, but not through portage. My installation uses 
it, so I have no definitive answer. 
However, I guess that, with a manual installation and a considerable 
amount of tweaking, you could make it work that way (even though the 
docs list apache as a prerequisite).
However, consider that, without the web interface, you lose the ability 
to browse through the backups and start backups and restores in a very 
simple way. While backups and restores can still be started running the 
appropriate scripts from the command line, restoring selected files or 
directories and (most impostant) browsing existing backups becomes 
nearly impossible, since the data is saved in a format quite difficult 
to interpret with a normal file manager or using command line tools (ls, 
find, etc.).
