If there's a scratch on the CD that prevents xpm-3.4k to be installed, you probably won't be able to install (properly) any window manager, because all of them (or at least most) require xpm libraries. I would recommend downloading the package from the FTP and try installing KDE again. To do this you can use the ports system (read the ports section in the handbook) or by typing as root "pkg_add -r xpm" (this will fetch the appropriate xpm package from the server and install it). BTW, does that error happen every time you install ANY package or just this package (or several packages)?
