It's not library that I am thinking about. ;-) Just that gconf settings  
when applications install in etc/gconf/* and storage in ~/.gconf*. Do we  
want gconf settings to be into one for linux-* and native? Or not?  
Sometime it can causes rare problem like old linux-gnome-volume-manager  
(non-exist, just example) and new gnome-volume-manager for not able to  
share ~/.gconf*.

Also, be sure to check in our gconf2 and bsd.gnome.mk (GCONF_SCHEMAS) for  
how our ports handle with gconf stuff.
