Just use USE_GNOME= gtk20 libxml2, rather than the LIB_DEPENDS line.

Yes, but it is easier just to set ALL_TARGET= all ggobirc, rather than
defining a custom post-build target.

Don't write into /etc, except in special cases. Use ${PREFIX}/etc
instead. Also, do something like:
post-install:
${MKDIR} /etc/xdg/ggobi
${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/ggobirc ${PREFIX}/etc/xdg/ggobi/ggobirc.sample
In the pkg-plist, add ggobirc only if it does not already exist, and
only remove ggobirc if it is identical to ggobirc.sample, to protect
user-customized configuration files during re-installation:
@unexec if cmp -s %D/etc/xdg/ggobi/ggobirc.sample
%D/etc/xdg/ggobi/ggobirc; then rm -f %D/etc/dillo/dillorc; fi
etc/xdg/ggobi/ggobirc.sample
@exec if [ ! -f %B/ggobirc ]; then cp -p %D/%F %B/ggobirc; fi
Here %D, %B, and %F are as defined in pkg_create(1).

Use, as many other ports do,
@dirrmtry share/applications
@dirrmtry etc/xdg
