| Being a FreeBSD GNOME developer, I recommend making sure your ports tree
| is up-to-date, then doing:
|
| # cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
| # make clean
| # make install clean

There's lots to choose from.  I favor kde myself, but you install them all 
the same basic way . . .

Note that installing one from packages probably won't generate optimal 
results since you have a newer X.

|
| Once that completes, add the following to ~/.xinitrc:
|
| exec /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
|
| And run startx.
