Yes, if a software package requires libgnomeui, then that software's
portfile should list libgnomeui as a dependency. Please try
installing libgnomeui. If that solves the problem, submit a bug
against whatever port it was that wouldn't compile before. (I haven't
been following the thread that closely.) Of course, first, you should
"sudo port selfupdate" and try again, to make sure the bug hasn't
already been fixed.
