Yes, read /usr/ports/UPDATING:

  AFFECTS: All GNOME users
  AUTHOR: gnome at FreeBSD.org

  GNOME has been updated to 2.14.  This new release does NOT require the
  use of the gnome_upgrade.sh script.  That script should not be used.
  Instead, use the following simple recipe:

pkgdb -Ff
portupgrade -o net/avahi -f howl
portupgrade -o x11/gnome-screensaver -f xscreensaver-gnome
portupgrade -a
