<p>Sure! Right now, the FreeBSD GNOME team is in the process of
migrating all GNOME 1.4 ports to a new build infrastructure.
This new infrastructure, called <b>GNOMENG</b>, will allow
GNOME 2 users to install GNOME 1.4 ports without overwriting
their GNOME 2 desktop.</p>
<p>Before building a GNOME 1.4 port under GNOME 2, take a
look at the port's Makefile, and check that it contains:</p>
<pre>
USE_GNOMENG= yes
</pre>
<p>If it does, you can safely build this port under GNOME 2.
If the Makefile contains the following, do not build it
as it will overwrite your GNOME 2 desktop:</p>
<pre>
USE_GNOME= yes
</pre>
<p>In that case, send email to
<a href="mailto:&email;@FreeBSD.org">&email;@FreeBSD.org</a>
mentioning the name of the port, and we will convert it to the
new layout. Alternatively, you are free to convert the port
yourself, and submit a PR.</p>
<p><b>NOTE!</b> You <b>must</b> have a current
<tt>/usr/ports/Mk</tt> directory in order to make use
of the new GNOMENG framework. If you do not have a current
Mk directory, you will still overwrite your GNOME 2 desktop
even when USE_GNOMENG is defined. To update your Mk directory,
make sure your ports supfile is set to retrieve the
<b>ports-base</b> tag. This is done automatically if your
supfile contains the <b>ports-all</b> tag.
</p>
<p>Sure! Note, however, that certain ports assume you are
running either the GNOME 1 or GNOME 2 desktop. That is,
they rely on certain desktop features such as the
gnome-panel. To ensure that a port does not overwrite
your current preferred desktop, set the
<tt>GNOME_DESKTOP_VERSION</tt> variable to either 1 or 2
(depending on your desktop version of choice) in
<tt>/etc/make.conf</tt>. Then just install the GNOME port
you wish.</p>
<p>To run GNOME 2.2 applications under GNOME 1.4, you will need
to make sure your GNOME 1.4 components are up-to-date, then
