Have you ever run the maintenance scripts, in particular weekly?    
sudo periodic weekly
I think that's where the locate database gets updated.

Hmm.  Macports would update me only to 2.8.2.  Maybe I don't want to  
do that!  Is your gnutls from outside MacPorts?  Although if it were,  
MP should have installed its own for gwenhywvar.

I cc'd the macports user list hoping someone there will have a better  
clue than I do.
