I suggest you uninstall all that you have below, put the source tarballs you have collected into /usr/ports/distfiles/KDE (so that the ports can find them), and then install the kde ports themselves. If you have sufficient bandwidth, you can use the packages (I'm not sure they are ready yet on the FreeBSD ftp servers, but you can find a set of packages and the instructions at http://freebsd.kde.org.) The ports exist for a reason - among other things, they have patches to make applications conform to FreeBSD's file system organization, to adjust the environment, and are a configuration we know to work on the majority of systems. It's very difficult to support self-compilation, because there is just too much in your environment and in your compilation options that could be affecting this. - From a look at your log, it seems KDE starts up correctly, and then some of the applications hit an issue with threads. I suggest you see if the problem persists with an installation from the ports, but I suspect it won't, they have been heavily tested, and I've never seen your particular error before.
