This is really strange because these two notations are equivalent
(USE_GNOME=gnomelibs translates into LIB_DEPENDS+=gnomelibs....),
just check /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk

Yes there is an optional gcdmaster program, which enhances functionality
of commandline application quite a lot.

Yes, at the moment only cdrdao (without gnome) packages are being built.

I suggest taking this with cdrdao port maintainer,
<marius at alchemy.franken.de>
