I think (didn't look into it at any depth) that pidgin draws in net-
libs/libnice (because of XMPP?) and libnice has the upnp flag which draws in 
net-libs/gupnp-igd.  I unmerged gupnp and this is what I get:

# emerge -uaDtv world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Interestingly, I do *not* have farsight installed, but I had installed connman 
to try it with enlightenment (econnman).

[I] net-misc/connman
