The most recent build of the ports system skipped the gnome3 port because the freerdp port is a dependency and had linker errors when building. http://beefy2.isc.freebsd.org/build.html?mastername=10amd64-default&build=2014-12-31_03h22m27s http://beefy2.isc.freebsd.org/data/10amd64-default/2014-12-31_03h22m27s/logs/errors/freerdp-1.1.0_2.log Hopefully the errors will be resolved soon, and the gnome3 package will be once again available after the next package run.
