Just copy your .xsession file for root into the home folder of the user you want to use Gnome for or use gdm. Having said that there is a lot of information regarding updating Gnome which you can find at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/. It would be wise of you to check the FAQ's at this site for important information. The Gnome mailing list is freebsd-gnome@freebsd.org where all questions regarding Gnome on FreeBSD should be posted.
