It seems that the a.out shared library doesn't work for NetBSD-sparc.

They are defined in the "Makefile" of the "gnome-libs" package:

.if (${OBJECT_FMT} == a.out)
.if exists(/usr/bin/c89) && (${MACHINE_ARCH} != sparc)
MAKE_ENV+=      A_OUT_LIBTOOL_FLAGS=--cplusplus
.else
MAKE_ENV+=      A_OUT_STATIC=-static
.endif
.endif

I added a special check for the sparc port. The package should build
for you after the next sup scan update cycle.
