That won't solve anything.  You have python-1.6 installed, you need
to remove it and replace it with python-2.0

This issue is not limited to GNOME, but all python-related ports
when python-1.6 was summarily executed by its maintainer, and modifications
made to bsd.python.mk that results in weird and wonderful errors like this.
A little more of a changeover period would have helped, along with a
HEADS UP, but that's water under the bridge now.

Remove anything that depends on python, pkg_delete python-1.6,
install python-2.0 (install python15 first if you need it, both these
ports install a bin/python, rather than taking the tcl/tk approach, which
can result in weird stuff happening), then rebuild those packages
that you deleted.
