Yes and no. The ports checks their dependencies by looking for files installed by other ports. If you installed all your software in the same place that the ports would have installed them (ie, /usr/local for most, /usr/X11R6 for some), the gnome ports will not rebuild that software. Of course, it'll just record that dependency port as installed even though it isn't, which might give you problems later on.
