Good point! I guess dependencies such as bash or systemd might be a
concern.
If you're want a minimalistic OS and/or package manager, have you
looked at Alpine?
Or if the OP wants makepkg, but the OP's Linux is based on e.g. busybox,
it might be worth to accept a dependency against bash.
Even for my Alpine I installed bash, quasi as my file manager ;).

None of that is true in my case, from the pacman PKGBUILD
depends=(
bash
coreutils
curl
gawk
gettext
glibc
gnupg <-- drop this
gpgme <-- drop this
grep
libarchive
pacman-mirrorlist <-- drop this
systemd
)
makedepends=(
asciidoc <-- drop this
doxygen <-- drop this
git
meson
)
optdepends=(
'base-devel: required to use makepkg' <-- may be an issue
'perl-locale-gettext: translation support in makepkg-template'
)
All the other dependencies are OK but they will be built with less
dependencies if that make sense. They have a bit less capabilities as
they will not be built from there respective PKGBUILDs.
