The ports tree was installed by copying the ports tree from a working 
5.4 install then cvsupping against cvsup5.FreeBSD.org.  There shouldn't 
have been any stale files left behind.  After getting the error i tried 
make clean && make build.... Several time in fact (yes, I know the 
definition of insanity :)

I did manage to fix it, but the solution was a little drastic....  I 
updated my ports tree again (by now it was a day or two old), tried the 
broken ports again (still didn't work), upgraded the two ports that were 
out of date (one was a libtool15).  I then did a portupgrade -Rrf 
glib-2\* because one of the error messages made me think something was 
wrong with glib.  That ended up rebuilding practically everything. 
After that gstreamer and gpgme built and installed properly.  Just 
looked at http://www.freshports.org/devel/libtool15/ - seems it was a 
ports bug.  The rebuild-everything step probably wasn't necessary. :(
