No.  More software components now use PackageKit as a framework.  If you
don't like the GUI,  just remove gnome-packagekit and leave the
framework in place.  repoquery is helpful in figuring out the base
dependencies.

Users do something like yum remove evolution\* and then get a huge list
of dependencies and wonder why.  Common mistake.   Evolution can be
removed just fine.  If you are talking about evolution-data-server,  it
is a generic calendar store that originated out of Evolution (hence the
name) but does not have a dependency on Evolution.  It is a very small
package really.
