According to gentoo's 6.8.0-r2 ebuild:

DEPEND=">=sys-libs/ncurses-5.1
        >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.3-r2
        >=sys-devel/flex-2.5.4a-r5
        >=dev-libs/expat-1.95.3
        >=media-libs/freetype-2.1.4
        >=media-libs/fontconfig-2.1-r1
        glx? ( >=x11-base/opengl-update-1.7.2 )
        >=x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9-r2
        >=sys-apps/sed-4
        sys-apps/util-linux
        dev-lang/perl
        media-libs/libpng
        !x11-base/xfree
        !virtual/xft
        !virtual/x11"

opengl-update is gentoo-specific, and the ! lines mean "these can't already be 
installed".
