Thanks again Jon,

That allowed me to track it down: it looks like the issue is marvosym:

docbook-utils -> texlive-collection-htmlxml -> 
texlive-collection-plaingeneric -> marvosym -> 
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended

but texlive-collection-plaingeneric does not require
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended, so it looks like that may have to 
be explicitly requested in the cygport build.

Opinion sought from Ken Brown!
