Nope, the deps are ok as they are. Why? Yes, libgcj needs little:

$ ldd /usr/lib64/libgcj.so.11.0.0 
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff3d9ff000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fbb4e5f0000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007fbb4e3e6000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fbb4e1e2000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007fbb4dfca000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fbb4dc5c000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fbb519f7000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fbb4da46000)

Buuuuut, that package also includes /usr/lib64/gcj-4.5-11/libjawt.so
for the java-AWT-GUI, and _THAT_ lib depends on the gtk/x11 stuff.

So, I'd say it's a packaging problem, the GUI stuff should be packaged
seperately as e.g. libgcj-gui45 or something.

HTH,
-dnh, too tired to file a bug / feature request
