You're complaining to the wrong people. No one on this list has any control over FreeBSD SMTP server. However, I do the same thing you're doing (i.e. have a NAT'd internal network with one external, routable, address), and my mail gets through no problem. I use straight sendmail. In any event, your problem with GNOME is quite simple, and could have been avoided altogether if you have read the GNOME 2 FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html (specifically, QA 5).=20 Basically, your version of devel/pkgconfig is too old. You need to update it before building GNOME.
