Portmaster first installs build dependencies and then runs "make" to build a port. Then it installs run dependencies and runs "make install". The meaning of "make" has been changed a while ago from "make build" to "make stage" which installs the port in the staging area and the gnome mtree file is already needed here. So either portmaster has to install run dependencies earlier or misc/gnomehier has to become a build dependency in Mk/bsd.gnome.mk.
