You are correct, there currently is no gnome2 package because apparently the build of gnome-packagekit has failed. Until this is fixed you can try out the quarterly branch by changing "latest" to "quarterly" in your /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf. There should be a gnome2 package. Another option might be to install the "mate" package which is also in the latest packages. Mate is fork of Gnome 2 that is still maintained, and probably a better option than Gnome 2 at this point. Oh, and when you are building those large packages manually, you can run "make config-recursive" before "make install clean". It will then ask you all configuration questions in one batch before starting the build.
