Comment (by nihil84 at gmail.com):

 Replying to [comment:2 rhwood at macports.org]:
 > gnome-libs is part of the GNOME 1.x desktop, which has been superseded
 by GNOME2 some five years ago. Is there any reason you need the GNOME 1.x
 libs as opposed to the GNOME 2.x libs?

 Actually I don't need it anymore but, at the time i wrote this ticket I
 need p5-gtk-perl for an old application and it has gnome-libs as
 dependency.
 However, if a package is no more compilable (because it is deprecated),
 why keeping it in tree?
