I have it running just fine too. Granted, it takes much manual babysitting of portupgrade after the initial massive attempt to get through the remaining 10%, but it's been that way the last few Gnome upgrades. My trick is to save the list of failed (not skipped) ports, then go through them one by one to resolve whatever the issues are (often they just magically work the 2nd attempt at building, or it's a fetch issue, or corrupt distfile). Always using the -R switch with portupgrade to make sure they're built in the right order. Then I go back and run the initial big portupgrade command again but adding parameters to exclude any ports built after my first attempt (necessary due to the -f switch, otherwise I'd never make any progress!). Rinse, repeat, and eventually I get the latest Gnome. :)
