I'm just patching up gdm2 HEAD (gnome2 version) to have this.  Some stuff
changed so the patch you sent was way out of date (I know it's my fault for
being so lazy and waiting so long with it).  The good news is the language
selection should work though.  That is, unless the user selected and saved
another language, then gdm uses the language that comes from login.conf.

Of course I haven't even tried compiling this since I don't have freeBSD so
YMMV.
