It's a Go package though, so it will quietly install a mountain a
random outdated static libraries from github.

Try it:

  $ emerge --fetchonly --nodeps doggo
  $ tar -tf /var/cache/distfiles/doggo-1.0.5-deps.tar.xz

BIND may actually be the least bad option. The Knot DNS server
provides alternatives like kdig, but you'll still wind up with a
full-fledged DNS server on your hands.

Depending on how serious this is, you could use package.provided and
INSTALL_MASK to block everything you don't want.
