If you look at what is required in pacman you get
Pacman: depends=('bash' 'libarchive>=2.6.0' 'libdownload>=1.3' 'pacman-mirrorlist')
pacman-mirrorlist is just one file which you could include in pacman if you wanted. The bash dependency is just for makepkg.
libarchive: depends=('zlib' 'bzip2' 'xz-utils' 'acl' 'openssl')
You can omit xz-utils. You can probably also omit bzip2, acl and openssl, check the configure options. I have no idea why libarchive would need openssl (and libdownload wouldn't). zlib is just for gzip compression. bzip2 is for bzip2 compression (which arch hasn't used so far) and xz-utils for lzma or xz compression, which we also don't use. acl is needed for Access Control Lists, you probably want acl on any linux system anyway. If you are lucky, you can disable acl support in libarchive. I still don't understand what you want to achieve. But whatever it is, resorting to an outdated version of pacman seems like the wrong solution.
