I was also lucky because I don't appear to have any installed ports with a portsdb -U caused problem. The first port that I saw with a dependancy problem was Net-SSH-Perl. I don't see a gnome dependancy in its ?-deps lists. When you look at the INDEX entry for Net-SSH-Perl, you have a very long line. It wouldn't surprise me if the problem is nothing more than the dimension of an array is exceeded when portsdb is generating the entry. The gnome related ?-deps lists also have a very long line.
