Q: Where on my hard drive can I find the instructions
executed to "enable" GNOME?
This enables dbus, avahi, hal, and gdm (assuming that they
are installed, of course). See the files for those things in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d for the details of what is run.

Thank you,
Err, Magic?
More seriously, `man rc` and several hours of cross-references
(rc.subr., rc.conf., rc.local, etc. etc.) might be enlightening.
HTH,
