The C/C++ parser. Does KDevelop use libclang for more than one parser?

Yes, any parser or other code that uses libclang.

Well, yes. It's also evident that libclang will depend on at least libLLVM (mine does, at least; the one inside Xcode has no LLVM dependencies apparently).
What I'm trying to figure out is the minimum subset of a full LLVM+Clang install that will allow to build and run KDevelop (and possibly other applications that use libclang).
