Hi,
Think that some other package fetches all these deps.
Check:
# dep -l net-misc/ntp
net-misc/ntp-4.2.0.20050303-r1:
    !openntpd?      !net-misc/openntpd
                    >=sys-apps/portage-2.0.51 sys-apps/portage-2.1_pre5
                    >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2   sys-libs/ncurses-5.5-r1
                    >=sys-libs/readline-4.1  sys-libs/readline-5.1_p2
    ssl?            dev-libs/openssl         dev-libs/openssl-0.9.7i
    !bootstrap?     sys-devel/patch          sys-devel/patch-2.5.9-r1
    kernel_linux? !nodroproot? sys-libs/libcap sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r5
...END...
As you see nothing from Apache,PHP comes here. No such flags too.
