Stop yelling.
Caps are yelling, if you didn't know.

make sure you have mounted your /root read-write
to remount it rw (if nessacery), ru
Code:
mount -o rw /

then use ed or vi to edit /etc/rc.conf
or type
Code:
# echo 'gnome_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

If you your filesyste isn't clean, you may need to boot in single user mode, and run # fsck -y and then type exit

and read the manual:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
(you can also find translations to other language)
 
try to check your kernel security_level, root user also have no enough permision in high securty_level, maybe i guess.
