Ther are a many ways to get GNOME 2.10
1. Compile each and evry package by hand. :O
This will take you around 6-8 hours provided you have all dependencies.
2. Get the binaries from yum/apt repositories.
Ubuntu Hoary has 2.10 , doing a apt-get upgrade on any Debian based
system will get you GNOME 2.10.
3. Use a automator scripts, Google for Garnome or jhbuild.
GARNOME:

visit the ILUGC wiki and see the talks section of GLV, there are slides
available on how to setup GARNOME.
In your case you will need to modify the GArnome config file to get the
packages from a folder rather than from the net.
