The instructions are same as converting a normal server install to a desktop one. Gnome 3 is the default in 11.10, so you can just run the following:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

and be done with it. If you want GNOME shell you'll need to install that too:

Another Question reports issues with installing ubuntu-desktop on a server in 11.10.

Additionally, if what the OP meant by GNOME 3 was GNOME Shell, then they can just run the additional command sudo apt-get install gnome-shell. – WarriorIng64 Oct 18 '11 at 6:35
