FWIW, here is how I upgraded...

0.  from a tty w/o X and GNOME running
1.  cvsup the whole ports tree
2.  pkg_version to see which ports went away (they have a ?)
3.  pkg_deinstall -f of the ports that no longer existed in GNOME 2.4
4.  pkgdb -F to delete the now missing dependencies
5.  portupgrade -rf -m BATCH=yes ORBit2
6.  portupgrade -R -m BATCH=yes gnome2

I also have WITHOUT_LDAP=yes in make.conf
