That file is no longer included in the package.  You will need to fix
the dependent ports.  Note, I have had to do this for Xft, and someone
else it recently for another port.  It's not that difficult.  You may
want to ping the developers of the affected ports.  pkg-config is the
way to do things now.

No.  Almost every port that depends on libgsf requires the GNOME
dependencies.  If you want to do all the work and testing to make sure
nothing is broken, go right ahead.
