Perhaps `make clean` your ports directory if you haven't been building ports with `make install clean`. You could also specify WRKDIRPREFIX in make.conf if you have more room on /tmp, for instance (though it doesn't sound like it.) You might also try to pkg_add -r gnome and just install the package(s).
