Hmm, misc/gnomeminedata uses the following Gnome packages:

USE_GNOME=      gnomehack gnomehier gnomeprefix gnometarget pkgconfig

devel/pkgconfig, for example, has a

USE_GMAKE=YES,

and devel/gmake depends on devel/gettext:

USE_GETTEXT=YES

I deleted gettext from my system, and ran ``make depend'' in
misc/gnomemimedata, and to my surprise, nothing happened, but as soon as
I ran ``make build'', the ports system detected the missing gettext
dependency and began re-installing it.

I am a bit puzzled why this didn't happen in your case, but installing
gettext manually surely won't harm ;-)
