Obviously USE_GNOME does not support devel/py-gobject now. All you can
do is to use BUILD_DEPENDS/RUN_DEPENDS.

Your pkg_info result indicates that you've installed gobject, but it
means nothing to users of this port. The ports infrastructure generates
dependency list according to the Makefile. If py-gobject is required,
add it to the corresponding *_DEPENDS explicitly. Otherwise gobject will
not be installed.

Some comments:
- PORTNAME can be different with the path. PORTNAME=tortoisehg is OK.
- We usually use "USE_PYTHON=yes"
- It would be better to keep patches in *-patch: targets.
  Move "${REINPLACE_CMD}" actions to post-patch:.
- If this port does not need to run configure or so. Use
do-configure:
	@${DO_NADA}
