you cannot strip down all depencencies.
but you could distribute them.

Imagine a setup for signing only. There is no need for validation, statistics and reputation.
For that reason you may split opendkim in multiple pieces:
 1. opendkim
 2. opendkim-repute
 3. opendkim-stats

1. signing and validation
2. running a reputation service
3. sending to a statistic server

for every part different perl modules are needed.

see http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-subpack-spec-file-changes.html on howto build subpacked with rpm.
