This will not get you a complete Gnome in OpenBSD. You should pkg_add gnome (and possibly gnome-extras) instead: it’s a metapackage that pulls in all the necessary gnome packages, including gnome-session, automatically.

Notice the Makefile from the ports tree:
Code:
# minimal dependencies for a working desktop
RUN_DEPENDS-main += \
		x11/gnome/controlcenter \
		x11/gnome/eog \
		x11/gnome/file-roller \
		x11/gnome/gedit \
		x11/gnome/keyring \
		x11/gnome/media \
		x11/gnome/nautilus \
		x11/gnome/session \
		x11/gnome/system-monitor \
		x11/gnome/terminal
All of these will be installed automatically when you “pkg_add gnome”.
