OK, I'm resolving this as not a bug.

I'll reiterate: the farsight and glib bits don't have *any* effect on the main
library binary or headers. They don't cause any "bloat" increase in it, which I
guess is your main concern.

tp-glib, and qt support for the glib mainloop are only used for building and
running the unit tests. Running them if you have the required bits installed
doesn't hurt any - rather only helps catch regressions. Then again if your
ebuild isn't running make check, they have no effect whatsoever.

Farsight causes a single pkgconfig file, a single header (Farsight/channel.h)
and a tiny library (telepathy-qt4-farsight) to be built and installed, which
combined takes around 1sec out of the several minutes for the entire library
build. Your ebuild can use the farsight use flag (if you have something like
that) to avoid installing them from the build sandbox instead, if you're
concerned with filesystem usage.
