Hi there,
It seems as if your problems are dealt with in the
file /usr/ports/UPDATING. I have pasted the most relevant
informational messsge here, but there is at least one other entry for
KDE which postdates this one. Generally, the UPDATING file is my first
port of call if there are any errors in upgrades.
I hope this helps

In KDE 3.4, a number of files were moved between ports, some ports
were added, one port has been removed and some applications formerly
available
in their own ports were incorporated into KDE. This means that you
will have
to take some precautions to update your KDE installation. A simple
portupgrade -a will not work.
Portupgrade -R kde can fail as well, depending on what parts of KDE
you
have currently installed. We therefore recommend sticking to the
following
procedure. The procedure requires you to have sysutils/portupgrade
installed
and you to be the superuser (or using sudo). We recommend not being
logged in
to a KDE session on the machine you're performing the upgrade on. If
you
choose to perform the update while being logged in to KDE, expect
erratic
behavior and crashes from applications launched until you log out and
back
in.
1.) Delete installed packages which conflict with the updated KDE
ports.
pkg_deinstall -f kdeartwork-\[0-9\]\* kdebase-\[0-9\]\* \
kdebase-konqueror-nsplugins-\[0-9\]\* kdewebdev-\[0-9\]\* \
kde-\[0-9\]\* akregator\* phase\*
2.) Now update the remaining KDE ports.
portupgrade -O arts\* kde\* \*kde-i18n\*
or, if you want to update KDE along with other updated ports:
portupgrade -a
3.) Reinstall the KDE ports you deleted in step 1.
portinstall -O kdebase kdeartwork kdewebdev
Changes in detail:
- www/akregator is now included into deskutils/kdepim3.
- x11-themes/phase is now included in x11-themes/kdeartwork3.
- www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated
into
In mDNSResponder 98_1, mdnsd is no longer started by default due to a
switch to an rc.subr startup script. To start it, you must add add
mdnsd_enable="YES" to your /etc/rc.conf or other suitable
configuration file.

- www/konqueror-nsplugins has been removed and is now integrated

x11/kdebase3.
- Juk has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is now
available as audio/juk.
- Akode has been split out of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 and is
now
available as audio/akode and audio/akode-plugins-*. Akode is
also
a default dependency of multimedia/kdemultimedia3 now.
- audio/mpeglib_artsplug has been demoted to legacy status and
is no
longer the default decoder backend for kdemultimedia3. It's
also not
depended on by kdemultimedia3 by default anymore.
Known post-updating issues:
- If you're missing acoustic notifications (system sounds) after the
update:
rm ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc
Then log out of KDE and back in again (also see
http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.php#q16).
- kdm users might get warnings from kdm about obsolete lines in kdmrc.
You can migrate your configuration while preserving your
customizations
by running (as root or with sudo)
genkdmconf
Make sure to backup your old kdm configuration (usually found in
/usr/local/share/config/kdm) beforehand in case the merge produces
an
invalid configuration. Especially note that kdm does not use the
Xservers
file anymore. A genkdmconf run will merge its contents into kdmrc.
