Removing Gnome

I installed the complete Gnome desktop in order to test one of the ports I 
maintain. I recently found out that the developer is no longer going to 
upgrade or support the port, so the version in the tree is essentially 
the "last" version. The port is a simple clock utility x11-clocks/wmfuzzy and 
works correctly. Anyway, I now want to remove gnome from my system. The 
problem I'm having is that apps rely on some of the Gnome stuff. How can I 
safely remove Gnome without removing the parts that are required by other 
apps? I was hoping that there is a way without doing  a pkg_delete on every 
gnome app and looking at the dependencies.
