OpenBSD 5.4 supports Gnome 3.8 and PCBSD 10 will take Gnome3/Cinnamon replacing Gnome2. In fact, the FreeBSD can do but not do, Why? Different philosophy? Bad compatibility? Dependencies conflict? No interest? Something else? Whatever the reason is, having an "evil" gnome3 port would never boom the machine.
