I think Doug is concerned about how this looks to people which aren't that familiar with the ports tree. It's ok for port maintainers/committers, but for an 'ordinary' user it may sound as it needs/depends on GNOME. And if such an user doesn't want GNOME to get installed, he may decide to not install such a port without trying if it actually installs GNOME or not.
