It is definitely your responsibility.

Add it.  You should also depend on gnomeprefix as that way, you do not
have to worry about removing the enclosing directory.  As a general
rule, you should always remove _files_ your port installs.  Directories
might be tricky.  Don't remove directories listed in mtree files or in
the plist of misc/gnomehier.  Hope this helps.  Please let us know if
you have any other questions.
