Try 'make WITHOUT_GNOME=yes'
For most make options all that matters is if they are defined or not.
The value they have is ignored.  Thus WANT_GNOME=yes and WANT_GNOME=no
and WANT_GNOME=foo  are all equivalent.

Most (all?) of the WANT_FOO options can be overridden by WITH_FOO or
WITHOUT_FOO.

More information can be found by reading the makefiles in
/usr/ports/Mk/ and in the ports(7) manpage.
