... and they don't.  Take the centericq port for example:

pluto.sac(/usr/ports/net/centericq) [120] > grep GNOME Makefile
USE_GNOMENG=    yes
USE_GNOME=      glib12
pluto.sac(/usr/ports/net/centericq) [121] > make all-depends-list
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv
/usr/ports/devel/gettext
/usr/ports/devel/glib12
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/libtool
/usr/ports/devel/pkgconfig
/usr/ports/textproc/expat2
pluto.sac(/usr/ports/net/centericq) [122] > 

Just glib and it's dependencies are added, not all of gnome.
