A complete patch is in ports/167386. The patch needs to be edited by
not need to change the X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version and maybe Categories
too.

Will need to add 'desktopfileutils' in USE_GNOME and manual runs
update-desktop-database in post-patch if yelp's Makefile doesn't has
it already. Same goes for add shared-mime-info dependency and manual
runs update-mime-database in post-patch.

If it works for you, feel free to commit patch and close the PR.

Cheers,
Mezz
