>Description:
The 'gmake' port has a bunch of dependencies, including expat,
an XML parser! (I presume indirectly via gettext)

IMO these are unnecessary. If you build gmake-3.79.1 manually from
source it compiles fine without gettext.

>How-To-Repeat:
# pkg_add gmake-3.79.1_1.tgz 
pkg_add: could not find package libiconv-1.7_5 !
pkg_add: could not find package expat-1.95.2 !
pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.1_3 !

>Fix:
Perhaps this ./configure option:
  --with-included-gettext use the GNU gettext library included here
