If it's graphics that you want, the GNOME graphics app is the GIMP, 
which will run on windows (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net).

Other than that, no, the GNOME Desktop will not run on Windows XP, 
though efforts are being made so that it will be possible some time in 
the future (probably a few years from now).

A FreeBSD mailing list is not the place to ask Windows XP questions. 
You'd have better luck on a GNOME mailing list (see http://www.gnome.org)
