When you later update Gnome with portupgrade (or whatever) the tool cleans as it goes. If you have portupgrade installed I would run portsclean -CD, and start again. If /usr is on a separate partition, and you have a lot of space elsewhere then I would suggest you either symlink /usr/ports there or set WRKDIRPREFIX. Some desktop ports need huge amounts of temporary space to build - it doesn't make much sense to allocate it under /usr.
