According to  8.38.6 release notes these packages are required:
XFree86-Mesa-libGL  
libstdc++  
libgcc  
XFree86-libs  
fontconfig  
freetype  
zlib

so libGL may be required dependency.
Nvidia driver has own libGL and overwrites mesa libGL.
But if you uninstall mesa and install Nvidia driver it will not install 
because there is no libGL. ATI probably requires libGL too because it (like 
Nvidia) must find libGL file to overwrite it.
