Try:

grep "name=.*gnome" /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*

Most rc scripts are named the same as their rc.subr enable_* variables, but
they don't have to be.  If no rc.d scripts have "name=gnome" in them, then
your gnome_enable line doesn't do a thing.  Maybe you had installed a port
at some point in the past that required it, but the port has been
uninstalled since then?
