Ah! Ok, now I understand it. But it's still a bug (in the
documentation). As you've seen someone may do it. Have a look how the
port evolved from my revision 1.8 (no use of USE_GNOME in the non-GNOME
case) to revision 1.9 which lioux committed to understand how this can
happen (no, I don't want to blame him, the pointy hat goes to myself
because I trusted that he DTRT).
IMO you should add a note that adding components to USE_GNOME after
including bsd.port.pre.mk results in such behavior.
Bye,
Alexander.
