No luck needed. Your /etc/rc.conf.local is misconfigured.

(You are running OpenBSD 5.8-release/amd64, which is no longer supported. There have been 29 security and reliability patches published since 5.8-release, and while not all are available for 5.8, it appears none have been applied to this system.)

This excerpt is from /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/gnome-3.16.2p0, the README file I referred you to in my first reply above.

DBus
----
Before running gnome-session(1), a system-wide D-Bus daemon needs to be
running ("messagebus" must be added to "pkg_scripts" in rc.conf.local(8)).

Error #1: DBus is incorrectly configured. You are using "dbus_daemon" -- which does not exist in OpenBSD 5.8. The name of the daemon management script in your /etc/rc.d directory is messagebus.


Error #2: Your pkg_scripts variable is incorrectly configured. Starting at OpenBSD 5.6, /etc/rc.conf and /etc/rc.conf.local were no longer Bourne shell scripts, instead, they became programmatically parsed files with simple variable assignments. Your ${pkg_scripts} Bourne shell variable assignment will not be correctly parsed.

Error #3: Your configuration includes gnome_enable and gdm_enable variable assignments which are meaningless, and will be ignored.

The README file includes step-by-step instructions for configuring your /etc/rc.conf.local file properly. If you remove the file with # rm /etc/rc.conf.local, then follow the instructions in the README, you will have a correctly configured system. See the steps under "Cheat Sheet" at the bottom of the README.
