I've looked at a few of these - the gnomelibs is compiling now, but I
don't understand why the gettext port is required for gnomelibs - that and
gettext has no MASTER_SITE listed in its Makefile (or much of anything
else).  

This is also incomplete - as you can find on the Gnome site the order to
compile is:

  1.gtk+ 
  2.mico 
  3.imlib 
  4.gnome-libs 
  5.gnome-objc 
  6.gnome-guile 
  7.gnome-core 
  8.mc 
  9.gnome-utils 
 10.gnome-graphics 
 11.gnome-media 
 12.gnome-admin 
 13.gnome-network  

But I didn't see objc, but you've done a gnome-core port!  :-)  I take it
there's no dependency on objc from core, regardless of the tree from which
they took the list above.  Hmm...  Well, you got gnomelibs to compile
which is more than I could do in the time I mucked w/ it.  Maybe I'll sit
down and try to do the rest at some point - maybe tomorrow as I install
FreeBSD on a former Linux box.  :-) 

In any case - a nice start!  Good job!  When we (I mean the ports team,
not just us) get all the apps done, we should try to create a "gnome"
super-port similar to the kde port where all the basic stuff is build
right away.
