Are you sure its not failing on the dependency of X11?  I know that X11
was broken earlier this evening.  Freshports had a commit to fix some
bad cut and paste or something or other.

/usr/ports/databases/libgnomedb can't build (something with checksum not
matching, but if I try compiling it without checksum check, is says that
it can't find some dir).

1) Please wrap your lines at 70 characters

2) Please post exact error messages when reporting a problem, it is
difficult to guess them, and you're less likely to get help.

The checksum mismatch should indicate to you that there was a problem
downloading the file, or if the distfile has actually changed then the
port may have already been updated.  Update your ports tree, remove
the distfile from from /usr/ports/distfiles and re-fetch it (by hand
from another MASTER_SITE if necessary).
