macports 1.7.0 and gnome

[William Davis]

using MacPorts 1.7.0_rc1 to install gnome (sudo port -d install gnome)  
I got this error
-->  Activating gnome-session @2.24.1_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/ 
share/xsessions/gnome.desktop is being used by the active gdm port.   
Please deactivate this port first, or use the -f flag to force the  
activation.
Warning: the following items did not execute (for gnome-session):

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I did
sudo port -df activate gnome-session
and then resumed the install with
sudo port -d install gnome
was this correct?
