FreeBSD generally doesn't use /opt.  If you want it to work, though,
you'll need to make these changes to your shell startup file (.profile or
.cshrc depending):

. Add `/opt/kde/bin' to the PATH variable list.
. Add `/opt/kde/lib' to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.  You'll probably
  have to add this.

If you use the kde port then it installs in /usr/local/* so no changes are
necessary.
