Are you sure you're trying to install KDE >from a port, as opposed to a package? A precompiled binary is the latter. I'm definitely in /usr/ports/x11/kde2/ and I'm using `make pretty-print-build-depends-list` to see that it requires XFree86-3.3.6_8, among others. I've also found that my XFree86 installation (4.0.2) is not listed in pkg_info, which could likely be the reason that 'make build' for kde2 tries to build XFree86-3.3.6_8. So, 1. Is there any way to add an existing compile to the pkg database? 2. Would that new package be recognized and accepted by the kde2 port?
