not sure how Gnome does it, but I would imagine it uses hald for it. u may have it installed already ( man pkg_info if u don't know ;) ).
u need to add this to your rc.conf to have it all running on startup
hald_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"

Kevin replied to this. I would just add, if you want some other login manager to run, (xdm, wdm), you'd have to install them and enable them in rc.conf
If you follow Kevin's email by the letter, you'll have to log in to the text console and launch your X session manually.
