It should suffice to just

   pkg_delete 'kde-studio*'

And the problem is that any kde '2' package is for KDE2; only version-3 KDE 
things can be installed with KDE3.

If that doesn't work, then try just

pkg_delete 'kde*'

and then insert your CD and cd to the package directory and do 

pkg_add kde3*

(Or cd /usr/ports/*/kde3 and do make install, but that's much slower.)

Me, too.
