libvdpau_r600/libvdpau_r300/libvdpau_radeonsi are selected if xf86-video-ati gets selected. xf86-video-ati gets selected if you own an ATI/AMD card, i.e. a GPU with Vendor ID 1002. xf86-video-mach64/r128 also gets autoselected by this Vendor ID. You can safely unselect/uninstall these packages. It would be tremendous work to figure all Device IDs, which are supported by these drivers and maintain these lists. The drivers aren't used if they don't support the hardware. So I would say better safe than sorry.
