I now know what's wrong: Unlike the old kaffeine which looked for
dvb devices itself, the KDE4 version relies on x11/kdelibs4 to
find them (<Solid/DvbInterface>, src/dvb/dvbdevice_linux.cpp
in kaffeine sources), which in turn relies on sysutils/hal
(solid/solid/backends/hal/haldvbinterface.cpp in kdelibs), and
at least hal doesn't know about dvb devices on FreeBSD yet, they
are only handled in hald/linux/device.c in hal sources. I've
Cc'd the hal and kdelibs port maintainers in case they want to
look at this...
