There are a set of pkg_* commands that are used manage packages. To
see which packages are installed use pkg_info whick will list them
all. As far as terminology goes a port consists of the files required
to patch and compile something from its pristine source where a
package is a port that has already been compiled. Also sience the
FreeBSD package system typicall installs packages by version, it is
possible to have both gnome and gnome2 installed and in working
condition.
