Your port installs a gconf2 schemas in ${PREFIX}/etc/gconf/schemas/.
The only thing you need to do is add "GCONF_SCHEMAS=guake.schemas" to the port makefile. This will do all the nessasery command for install and deinstall. It will also add a entry to the plist so you don't need to worry about that either.
