If you are using pkgsrc, (hopefully) modifying your own environment should 
not change anything. pkgsrc attempts to set its own environment variables 
(and build flags) as appropriate to make sure the build is consistent and 
correct as the maintainer defined.

If you have a problem with building pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/gnome/ then please 
check to see what specific package is having the problem. (That meta 
package pulls in real packages.) Then we can try to track down the problem 
with it.

You may want to do a "make clean-depends clean" first and then record the 
last ten or so lines from the output of when you run "make".

Consider posting to the pkgsrc-users list to get pkgsrc assistance.

Take care,
