Joe Marcus now working on metaport and instruction on how to do it
properly. However, if you are adventurous enough, you can try the
following recipe:

1. Deinstall all old GNOME1 ports:

# pkg_delete -r scrollkeeper-\*

2. cvsup your ports collection, grab a fast machine with enough inet
bandwidth and do the following:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnomepanel ; make clean install
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnomesession ; make clean install
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/sawfish2 ; make clean install
# cd /usr/ports/www/nautilus-gtkhtml ; make clean install
# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnomeapplets2 ; make clean install
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter2 ; make clean install

After several hours of wasted CPU time you should be able to start
GNOME 2.0 as usually (gnome-session etc).
