I don't use gnome, so just tested checksum of patches.

yuicaspar:poppler$ cvs up

looks find to me as far as patches are concerned.
BTW, I'm using pkgsrc-current.

By "cvs-ed a few times", did you mean "cvs
checkout from scratch" or
"cvs update"?
If what you did was the former, I have no idea.
Otherwise, how about deleting the entire tree and checking
it out again?

Doing so now. Downloaded the pkrsrc-current, deleted
/usr/pkgsrc and 
started in /meta-pkgs/gnome. Unfortunately, I get this:

=> Required installed package py24-Numeric-[0-9]*: NOT
found

===> Skipping vulnerability checks.

there is a

while in /math/py-Numeric:

<snip>

py23-Numeric-24.2 requires installed package
python23-2.3.5nb7

This is all from pkgsrc-current, 6-10-06. Why does it expect
py24 while 
it has py23? Any clue about it?

Thanks
