Rebuild gnome-settings-daemon and disable pulseaudio. Theoretically it's  
possible to disable pulseaudio, but this doesn't work for all versions as  
expected. On Linux it's enough to build a dummy package, that fakes to  
provide PA, this doesn't cause issues, as long as libpulse(audio) or what  
ever it's named, is installed. However, on Linux (by upstream) only  
gnome-settings-daemon has the hard dependency to PA. It might be different  
for FreeBSD, I'm a newbie for BSD myself. I'm using Xfce4, but have GNOME  
installed too, since there were obscure dependencies, seemingly not from  
upstream, but for FreeBSD. I didn't experienced this on Linux.

I don't have PA installed.

$ pkg_info | grep pulseaudio
$ pkg_info | grep gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-settings-daemon-2.32.1_4 GNOME 2 settings daemon

I suspect you need to rebuild all the listed dependencies. I only can  
speak for Linux (and upstream), theoretically and on Linux in reality you  
only need to rebuild gnome-settings-daemon, or to fake that the dependency  
is fulfilled.
