Hm, seems that you miss desktop database update. You may use
textproc/goldendict as a reference. Shot version:
1. Makefile should have "USE_GNOME=desktopfileutils".
2a. At post-install: stage do run -update-desktop-database (this
is for ports).
2b. Insert to pkg-plist (this is for packages):
-----
@exec %%LOCALBASE%%/bin/update-desktop-database
@unexec %%LOCALBASE%%/bin/update-desktop-database
-----

That will make update-desktop-database run after port/package
install/deinstall and keep the desktop database in concurrent
state.
