While those may have been installed using binary packages off the
installation CD, they are still ports.  If you do "pkg_info" after
your install, you will see the list of ports that you installed.  I'm
guessing you installed a package(s) that has a dependency on glib, and
the glib package was installed.  Hence why you need to either
uninstall/reinstall the glib port, or use a port management tool like
portmaster to upgrade the installed port.

If you do a standard install of just the OS (no packages, no ports),
then the output of "pkg_info" will be empty.  At that point, if you do
"portsnap fetch extract" and install x11/kde4, everything will work.
