Hmmmm... At least gnomecc-1.4.0.3 does include a screensaver-properties
capplet:

# pkg_info -L gnomecontrolcenter-1.4.0.3 | fgrep screensaver
/usr/X11R6/bin/screensaver-properties-capplet
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/apps/Settings/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/gnomecontrolcenter
# fgrep screensaver pkg-plist 
bin/screensaver-properties-capplet
# make extract
===>  Extracting for gnomecontrolcenter-1.4.0.3
  [...]
# find . -name "*screensaver-properties*"
./work/control-center-1.4.0.3/capplets/screensaver-properties
./work/control-center-1.4.0.3/capplets/screensaver-properties/screensaver-properties-capplet.c
./work/control-center-1.4.0.3/capplets/screensaver-properties/screensaver-properties.desktop.in
./work/control-center-1.4.0.3/capplets/screensaver-properties/screensaver-properties.desktop
