Possibly more what you want is this in /etc/ttys: ttyv0 "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm" cons25 on secure which should start gdm on ttyv0 after booting. IIRC, the *proper* thing to do is to put the GNOME startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/, make sure it's executable, etc. But, it's been a while since I used GNOME, and development may well have superseded my knowledge....
