I didn't install gwenhywfar when I did quartz gnucash.  However, I do  
have gnutls installed.  I did

locate libgnutls

and got the following which looks like libgnutls-config is in a  
logical place.

Perhaps the problem is that there's a typo in the portfile because  
what you have in your error message is libgnutls_config and what I  
have installed is libgnutls-config.
