The gnome meta-package is now split in the following three packages:
gnome_dtlogin - provides dtlogin integration
gnome_minimal - minimal packages for a useable gnome
gnome - all of gnome, like the old gnome package

The new gnome_dtlogin package depends on no other packages and only
contains files in /etc/dt, so it can be installed on machines which
mount /opt/csw via nfs to provide dtlogin-integration there.

The gnome_minimal package provides a "small" set of gnome-packages
which are required to get a functional gnome-desktop.

The gnome package contains all the extra goodies like totem, gimp
xmms and more.

gnome depends on gnome_minimal, which in turn depends on gnome_dtlogin.

Regards,
  Michael
