The following ports have been updated to KDE Beta3:

- kdelibs
- kdebase
- kdeutils
- kdegames

Missing:

- kdenetwork (mail and news reader)

I'm working with those Beta3 programs, and they do
work well for me, but I do not use kdm (login) and
klock (screen saver). The latter needs to be SUID
root to access the FreeBSD shadow password file, and
I'd rather not do this at this time, since I'm afraid
of just another invitation to exploit a SUID root 
program (TM) ... :)

There have been a few enhancements which had been 
submitted by FreeBSD KDE users and which I had put
into the Beta2 port, but I did not have time to 
check which of those patches still applies, because
of a severe shortage of spare time.
