I'm currently running Gnome 2.4 under Fink/X11. I currently run it in rootless mode with my OS X dock on the left side of the screen and the gnome panel on the bottom. When quartz-wm is running, my gnome apps fit right in, making my OS X experience much more pleasant than it otherwise would be. I now run galeon as my main browser (which I like better fontwise than any quartz browser), gaim, and evolution. Life is good. I'd still rather be running Linux, though, but hey, I knew I was buying an apple laptop. Some day when Nvidia release their chipset specs I'll be able to get power management and sleep working under linux...
