Many "pure data" packages don't depend on anything.
Pure TeX/LaTeX packages should be keyworded ~noarch only if a suitable
binary TeX is keyworded for each arch. Hmm, this, probably, means that
they can never be stabilized as noarch.
Pure python scripts (without library dependencies) should become ~noarch
if some suitable python binary is keyworded for each arch. Similarly for
perl, ruby. Python is installed on each Gentoo box anyway, so, in this
case it is less problematic.
