No, but there are plans for taking it out behind the barn and putting it
out of it's misery... :-)

Seriously, I think both terminal widgets have targeted full i18n support
etc, which makes them both depend on pango->gtk->gdk->glib at least.
There are probably other dependencies for other features as well and I
don't see that changing in the future :-/

libzvt is deprecated, vte is the preferred terminal widget in GNOME
these days.
