I would prefer that apache not depend on any browser be installed. I
don't see it as necessary to apache functioning, and would prefer to
install a server machine without that type of desktop functionality.
Perhaps a suggests dependancy instead?

This is simply not possible since some tools like apachectl requires
a web browser (even a text one is fine) in order to function properly.
