Sorry for being so rude.  For some reason I thought I was replying to

No binary packages involved, right?  (Just to be sure.)

Ew.  Maybe something is broken nowadays in pkgsrc as regards dependency
handling.

I just wanted to emphasize that adding that dependency to
gnome-mime-data is not the way to go.  If this package fails because
it cannot find p5-XML-Parser, many other will probably fail for the
same reason (actually, all those using intltool).
