Amongst the basic X libs and GNOME support, you're also getting the
"gnome-fifth-toe" meta-port, which installs a whole slew of useful apps -
depending upon your definition of "useful."

If you wish to avoid installing all these, you can go navigate through
the package tree and install x11/gnome. that is also a meta-port, but it
only installs the basic stuff necessary for a gnome desktop. X will get
installed automatically, but you'll need to install sawfish yourself.

If you install the x11/gnome2 port, you get sawfish with it no
additional charge.

Or you could just let it install all the other apps and then delete them
when it's finished ::)
