Set PKG_PATH to
'ftp://packages.stura.uni-rostock.de/pkgsrc-current/DragonFly/1.6.0-RELEASE/i386/All'

And pkg_add all the dependencies listed here:

http://pkgsrc.se/meta-pkgs/gnome

You can cut-and-paste yourself a list of pkg_add commands.  I don't know
if every one of those utilities will be present as a prebuilt binary, but
probably most of them.

As Petr said, gnome-session may be a good start, and then pick up what's
missing as above.
