The place to put GNUstep.sh depends upon how is you xsession started.

For instance, I use display manager like xdm or kdm (it is slim, to be 
pedantic, but they all work the same). When a user logs in,
display manager runs a shell script on behalf of this user. On my system
this is /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.

I modified the first line of this script to be

#!/bin/bash --login

This way it reads $HOME/.bash_profile (but _not_ $HOME/.bashrc)
so I put the line

   source <path-to-GNUstep>/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

in my ~/.bash_profile

As far as I understand your .xsesion is the proper place to start gpbs.
