IIRC when you build the plugin-wrapper you get instructions for manually updating /etc/libmap.conf; maybe you missed that. There is a common pitfall with FreeBSD that people install a full system from packages on the CD, and then do a CVSup to the current ports tree. The ports system then sees their software as out of date. The best solution is to keep everthing up-to-date with the tree which means upgrading kernel/world and all your ports. The problem there is that KDE has gone through several upgrades since 3.1.4 that will prevent a straightforward portupgrade from working. Your easiest solution here is to use portupgrade to prefetch packages from fruitsalad (see freebsd.kde.org) and then do a complete KDE deinstall-reinstall. An alternative is to CVSup your ports tree back to the date on which the packages were created for the release (or reinstall the ports tree from the iso) so you are dealing with a self-consistent snapshot.
