I can't answer for the systemd part but GNOME on BSDs mostly depends
on developers doing the sometimes necessary porting work. For example
Antoine Jacoutot (CC'ed so he can answer the systemd part) has been
working making sure it runs fine on OpenBSD. For the GNOME 3.10
release he produced a video demonstrating it running on OpenBSD:
