Any port that sets USE_GNOME will install GNOME because it _needs_
GNOME. You want to avoid ports like that if you don't want to use
GNOME. Examples I can think of are Evolution, Nautilus, gnomeicu,
sodipodi, gnomedb, dia, and gnumeric (to name just a few).

You should probably familiarize yourself with a new port's Makefile. If
you set WITHOUT_GNOME in /etc/make.conf, that will protect you from
GNOME-optional ports.
