Too bad.  For hoe 1.1.7, use:

   begin
     require 'hoe'
   rescue LoadError
     # replacement tasks, if any
   else
     hoe = Hoe.new(...) do |p|
       p.extra_deps = []   # or only your deps.
     end
     hoe.spec.dependencies.delete_if { |dep| dep.name == "hoe" }
   end

Or really use Echoe.
