Gnome ( as any other wm ) depends on xorg / xfree, so x11 will automatically be emerged before gnome.
Any wm will work without glx, but you won´t have direct rendering until you have a 3d-driver.
You can savely emerge gnome, look if it fits your needs and emerge the other stuff later...

Emerging any window manager or desktop environment will emerge xorg as a dependency automatically. Take a look at the gentoo docs for configuring gnome. After that, take a look at the xorg docs, and adjust anything that hasn't been done yet (such as mouse configs and such).
Edit: Gah...few secons too late |
