The problem is that gal stops in mid-configure due to libglade missing. 
 libglade should be an explicit LIB_DEPENDS within the gal Makefile.

gtkhtml suffers from the same dependency cycle that makes it stop in 
mid-configure.

I generally prefer to do -R.  I find that -r causes more problems.

I have been trying portinstall -R gnome which should get everything that 
gnome depends on.  Unfortunately, it doesn't.
