I personnaly like the latest and greatest kde. I would install it this
way.

The best way to install the latest port of KDE is too grab the port from
the FreeBSD website or ftp site. Put the port in /usr/ports/x11/kde. Cd
to /usr/ports/x11/kde. Then do 'make'. 

When you type 'make' the latest and bestest tarfiles will be fetched,
patched, and built for you.

Then do 'make install' to finish the job.

I believe the tarfile is fetched from a kde.org server but I am not
sure.
