Normaly you do
pkg_add -r gnome

But know i get an error back.
pkg_add -nr gnome
Error: FTP Unable to get 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/gnome.tbz: 
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.2-release/Latest/gnome.tbz' 
by URL

With
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
make install
will it work, but some hours/ days need to install.

An old 1GHz System need 3 days for KDE 3 ;).
