there is a simple way:

1) grab cvsgnome from http://www.fh-wilhelmshaven.de/~akcaagaa/
2) change PREFIXDIR="" inside the script to point to the location you
   want to have gnome 2 installed.
3) run the script and in the menu enter:

   'world' which grabs all cvs modules/build and installs them or
   'world stable' which grabs released stable tarballs build and
                  installs them

yes cvsgnome an easy onefiled bash script does CVS or stable TARBALLS
and comes with a big instruction and faqsection (embedded in this
onefiler) for help you can also consult irc.gimp.org #cvsgnome
