I think KDE also relies on DBUS and HAL (which need to be installed
and enabled via /etc/rc.conf), and activating the KDE login manager
for X (kdm) requires an entry in /etc/ttys similar to the one that
is suggested for Gnome; if it's not desired, use "startkde" (I think
it is the correct name, or "startkde4" maybe) in ~/.xinitrc or in
~/.xsession respectively.

And a general note: The "Step 2" does not belong to the installation,
it already belongs to configuration (i. e. enabling the just installed
piece of software).
