There may be easier ways, but this is how I check. For regular ports 
(your example is a metaport) you can check distinfo to see which version 
of the source files it's downloading.  You can also check 
www.freshports.org and see there along with other useful information. 
According to freshports, the kde3 in a recently updated ports tree is 3.4.2.

HTH,
