I am not using GNOME, but I am using Samba 4.16 and it coexists with other
ports for me. I suspect the problem is that GNOME is being built against the
current default for Samba (4.13) and so GNOME has the 4.13 version as a
dependency. Samba 4.16 and 4.13 conflict against each other, so when you try
and install Samba 4.16 it will uninstall Samba 4.13 (and GNOME, which depends
upon it). Conversely, if you install GNOME it will uninstall Samba 4.16 to
make way for its Samba 4.13 dependency.
The way to fix this is to have your ports build against a common default
version of Samba. In my case, I build ports locally using Poudriere and added
"samba=4.16" to the "DEFAULT_VERSIONS" definition in make.conf for that
Poudriere ports jail. So, any ports that build against Samba will use Samba
4.16 as a dependency, not 4.13.
If you are using FreeBSD repositories, you might have to wait for Samba to
switch to 4.16 in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk before GNOME/Samba
ports shake out the way you like.
Cheers,
Paul.
