I'm sorry to see that your question seems to have brought out an larger-than-usual contingent of kooks. Please ignore them. We tend to lag a little behind, but GNOME 47 has been available on FreeBSD since June, and I assume GNOME 48 is in progress. GNOME 49 only just came out, so it's a little early to expect it on FreeBSD. cc: to Olivier who is probably the best person to answer what's currently in progress or right around the corner.
