I tried simply adding the gnomesession package. It brought up gnome with
the twm window manager.

Solution ended up being to pkg_delete gnome2 and pkg_add -r gnome

I now have Gnome 1.4 running successfully. 

And editing .xinitrc only works if you are running an X server locally.
Since I am exporting the display, it won't do anything. (My display is
running on an XP box)

I did rather want Gnome 2, but it appears that the packages are rather
nastily broken., am going to try it from ports later (After I cvsup my
ports tree).
