Unless the package dependencies have been fixed, gnome does not depend 
on xserver.  It is necessary to manually select the xserver-xfree86 
package (or some meta package) as well as the gnome package.

martensjason:/home/jason# aptitude show gnome
Package: gnome
<snip>
Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 60), gnome-office (= 60), 
bluefish, evolution | balsa,
       gnome-cups-manager, gnome-system-tools (>= 0.90.0), 
gnome-themes-extras, magicdev |
       gnome-volume-manager, rhythmbox, synaptic | gnome-apt, totem, 
xscreensaver
