Ok, silly question first: Does this happen again after 'make clean clean-depends'?

I don't see this.

> Something in buildlink3.mk raises the question of gmime3 depending on itself, particularly the line BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.gmime3+= gmime3>=3.0 :

No, the buildlink3.mk file looks fine.

What does (in gmime3):

# make show-buildlink3

give?

For me it's:

glib2
    iconv
    gettext
        iconv
    pcre
    zlib
    libffi
    pthread
zlib
gpgme
    libassuan
        libgpg-error
            gettext
    libgpg-error
libgpg-error

I.e., no gmime3; and manual grepping doesn't show me any gmime3
dependency in any of them.
