Hmm, I'm not sure there should be this many - we've gone through and
fixed (almost all of) the ports that fail on the package build
cluster.

Read bsd.port.mk.

If you compile gnome from ports it probably will (via a
BUILD_DEPENDS). However you can also install from packages, which may
not. Runtime dependencies (RUN_DEPENDS and LIB_DEPENDS) are listed in
the INDEX file (INDEX-5 for FreeBSD 5.x), so you can obtain dependency
information from here.

If they do not otherwise require perl to build, they should be
converted. If they already have perl build dependency then it should
be okay.
