GNUstep is a framework for application development. Please refer to  
http://gnustep.org/ for more information regarding this. I assume  
that you are looking for a user interface that is similar to  
NEXTSTEP; if this is true, you should check out Window Maker  
(www.windowmaker.info), which is also mentioned within GNUstep's  
website. To have Window Maker start on boot automatically, please  
refer to the FreeBSD Handbook and read Chapter 5 ( http:// 
www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html )

As for GNUstep, it will automatically configure your environment when  
your system boots. Your system accomplishes this with the script /usr/ 
local/etc/rc.d/GNUstep.sh. If you wish to know more about how this  
script works and how to use it, please refer to the FreeBSD Handbook  
and read Chapter 11.7 ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/ 
books/handbook/configtuning-rcd.html ).

I hope this helps.
