At first glance, it looks okay, although if you are not remaking
Makefile.in, you could probably just patch Makefile.in, and ignore
Makefile.am.  But since you are already using some components of
Gnome, you could instead just add 'gnomehack' to USE_GNOME, which
already has some boilerplate code to do this, rather than adding your
own custom post-patch target.  Also, I think that you can use @dirrm
instead of @dirrmtry for  etc/xdg/ggobi (although not for etc/xdg).
