Try xfce4. 

XCFe started life as a CDE clone, but the later versions are quite 
configurable, and it's more lightweight than Gnome  or KDE. 

Personally I don't much like Gnome on BSD or Gentoo because I've had a 
lot of bad experiences  building and updating it. KDE takes a bit 
longer to upgrade, but it's usually straightforward.
