Could you tell me why I can not find both gnome2 and kde4?

Code:

root@freebsd:~ # uname -r
9.2-RELEASE-p3
root@freebsd:~ # less /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: "yes"
}

root@freebsd:~ # pkg install gnome2

Found this little snippet in Official FreeBSD Binary Packages now available for pkgng

Code:

Packages are built weekly from a snapshot of the Ports Collection every
Wednesday morning 01:00 UTC. They typically will be available in the
repository after a few days.
