I run it on a smaller machine than this but with more RAM.

This sounds like an overkill. I would say anything from 4MB onwards will 
be fine.

Not in that sense. But you can choose to install GNOME during the first 
installation.

I would recommend to install a plain FreeBSD without X first.

If you have a good Internet connection, just add the ports than as 
binary packages. If your Internet connection is not this good, install 
whatever you want from CD.

Install only the missing pieces in the third step via Internet.
