A little more information would help. FreeBSD version (uname -a)? Contents
of /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf (if they exist).

Do you have a current version of libGL? It should be libGL-9.1.7. It looks
like it is either not installed or damaged as the .pc file is missing.

And I have no problems getting to http://www.freebsd.org/gnome, but th mail
archive is not there. All FreeBSD mail list archives can be accessed at
http://www.freebsd.org/community/mailinglists.html. You should be able to
run the gnomelogalyzer by entering "sh ./gnomelogalzyer.sh".
