Marius understood my problem much better than I described it and moved gtk_doc build dependency into doc variant (https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/144c3cec1e062304e769b896d242b3816ec2b5f9). I am very gratefull for the quick fix.

I think previously I was just getting binary build of gnutls, that’s why I did not need build dependencies. After upgrade to MacPorts 2.6.0, there was no binary package available, and building port from source pulled in build dependencies.

All is good now.
