Here is a blurb on the new distfiles policy for the GNOME project site.
I think we agreed that only the distfiles from MASTER_SITE_GNOME would
go in the gnome subdir, but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm also putting the finishing touches on the anjuta 0.1.9 port. It
should be done in a few minutes.

+ <h2>Distfile Issues</h2>
+ <p>As GNOME 2.0 gains developer momentum, things must be done to sort
+ out the new GNOME 2.0 distfiles from the GNOME 1.0 distfiles, as well
+ as do our part to keep the distfiles directory clean. To do
+ this, GNOME 1.0 ports that download their distfiles from
+ <tt>${MASTER_SITE_GNOME}</tt> must add the following to their
+ Makfile:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+DIST_SUBDIR= gnome
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>GNOME 2.0 ports that download their distfiles from
+ <tt>${MASTER_SITE_GNOME}</tt> must include the following in their
+ Makfile:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+DIST_SUBDIR= gnome2
+ </pre>
+
+ <p>Some GNOME distfiles come in both tar gzip as well as tar bzip2
+ format. To save time when downloading distfiles over slow links,
+ you should use the bzip2 distfiles whenever possible. To do this,
+ add the following to your port's Makefile:</p>
+
+ <pre>
+USE_BZIP2= yes
+ </pre>
+
+<!-- End GNOME distfiles -->
+
+
+
<p>If you still need help with your port, have a look at some of
the <a href="/ports/gnome.html">existing ports</a> for examples.
