No.  The Tinderboxes still build packages for 6.1.  Releases are moving
targets.  Tinderbox currently builds packages for 5.5, 5-STABLE, 6.1,
6.2, 6-STABLE, and 7-CURRENT (i.e. all the supported versions that are
listed on the FreeBSD GNOME homepage).  It doesn't make sense to list
all available versions.  Giving a single example is usually sufficient.

It's always the GNOME Desktop and all ports needed for it.  The idea is
one would do pkg_add -r gnome2 or portupgrade -PPR gnome2.
