Hi Craig,

> So @wantlib are in base sets then?

Well, no.
Look again at the output you posted:

# pkg_info -f gd-2.0.33p2.tgz | egrep "(depend|wantlib)"   
@depend converters/libiconv:libiconv-*:libiconv-1.9.2p3
@depend graphics/jpeg:jpeg-*:jpeg-6bp3
@depend graphics/png:png-*:png-1.2.8
@wantlib c.39.0
@wantlib fontconfig.3.0
@wantlib freetype.13.1
@wantlib iconv.4.0
@wantlib jpeg.62.0
@wantlib m.2.1
@wantlib png.4.2
@wantlib z.4.1

The @depends tell you:
We need those packages installed before installing gd (whatever may
be inside - ok, hopefully the package maintainer _did_ think about
the question what is inside, but we need not learn that right now).

The @wantlibs tell you:
We need those shared libs installed in order to use gd (wherever
they may come from - in case they are missing, we _do_ need to
investigate ourselves how to get hold of them).

In fact, libc is from base (luckily :).
But libfreetype is from xbase (gotcha).
And libpng is from the package graphics/png (surprise, eh?).

Enjoy,
  Ingo
