On my pkgsrc (which isn't entirely up to date) it also says:

Deprecated variable USE_CANNA set to YES, use PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=canna
instead.

So this is where it pulls the canna in from for me.  If I run

$ make USE_CANNA=no

It tells me:

Deprecated variable USE_CANNA set to NO, use PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=-canna
instead.

But it does not pull in canna.  So running:

$  make PKG_OPTIONS.uim="anthy gtk -canna"

Seems to be what you want, I think.

I admit this is not really the least confusing method. :-)
