No change was made to add requirements. The old Mk/bsd.gnome.mk was converted to Mk/Uses/gnome.mk to help standardize things. So, like all USES, you have to say USES=gnome before you can say USE_GNOME=foo. It is the same for every other old thing that was converted. USES gives you one place to declare which component you will be using in the port, so one can know at once what they will find in there. -- Mathieu Arnold
