If you find some pkgsrc's outdated, contact the maintainer or do yourself
the patches to update them.

Although I find Gnome 1.4 packages stable and recent... Note that RH72
does some modifications to configuration, which may make gnome a bit
better looking by default.

I would install both gnome's under different trees. You would compile and
install Gnome 1.4 to /usr/local/gnome1 and Gnome 2.0 to /usr/local/gnome2.
Then, to start one or other, setup your path and run the appropiate binary,
(gnome-session for 1.4, dunno for 2.0).
