I'm sorry if my bug report is so useless... I'm trying to be more clear this 
time:

Being not at the box concerned, I just looked at the current stable cups 
spell 
and its source.
There I cannot see a trace of even an optional g++ dependency.
I must have remembered the g++ question from some other spell in the same 
cast.

So, I'm pretty sure of these facts:

1. cups spell in stable does not have any dependency on g++.
2. cups source for 1.1.23 contains C++ code: the whole pdf2ps part.
3. There is no configure switch to deactivate that part (if I'm not blind).
4. ...as clearly stated in the cups install documentation, cups needs g++.

In current test (git), cups (version 1.2.x)  has a hard dependency on g++.

To verify the obvious again without messing too much with the system I need 
for work here, I unpacked cups-1.1.23 source and renamed all g++ executables.
I'll attach the configure && make log of that - you see that configure 
doesn't 
find any C++ compiler but still continues and make enters the pdf2ps 
directory 
and fails miserably there due to lack of C++ compiler.

So, unless we start hacking in cups to disable the pdf2ps part, a hard 
dependency on g++ is needed in stable.

Though, I'd like to avoid this dep, since that would allow a print server 
without g++ ... cups being the only package that needs it on the box, 
currently.
But I have to play tricks anyway to fit the runtime system onto the 512MB 
flash card;-)
