tell me what they are and what would break if I removed them from my system?
hdparam ktools m4 (particularly this one) sed

You need m4 to process config files created with M4 macros e.g. sendmail.cw. and perhaps many other apps. I suggest you leave it as is. Likewise, sed is a very commonly used filter and shell based utilities using it will break. Don't know much about ktools and hdparam. A general suggestion, don't mess with the base package. I don't think you will save significant amount of disk space by removing packages piecemeal. On the contrary, you could be shooting yourself in the foot.
