Looks like it is enabled but you are not aware of it. From the ebuild:

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.16
        >=sys-devel/gettext-0.11
        >=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.11
        doc? (
                >=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0
                >=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.11
                ~app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 )"

unzip is probably being pulled in from sgml-common
the gpg stuff is coming from dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26  USE="crypt python -
debug"

So it's all perfectly legit.

emerge with -t is your friend in such cases.
