well.........

1. you MUST cvsup first :-) 

I  installed /usr/ports/net/cvsup-bin and then used this sup file

*default host=cvsup.fi.FreeBSD.org     <---- I'm in sweden but this is quicker
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4  <--- I'm running 4.2-Stable
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
ports-all tag=.

cvsup supfile

2. pkg_version -c will provide you with a script showing what is out of date.
   pkg_version on its own shows an * where multiple versions exist	
   check this carefully  pkg_info -rR  packagename is handy. 

3. pib  /usr/ports/sysutils/pib is quite handy for showing the requirements / 
   dependencies      

4. pkg_delete kde and it's  out of date friends... watch out for out of date  
    friends that are required by other packages :-(. 

5. install qt22 first    make  QT_GIF_AVAILABLE=yes install clean
   if you want gif support.

6. then install kde  (close on 20 hours total on my 233mhz pentium)

7. Don't blame me if it is a disaster ...it worked for me.

8. I am pretty happy with KDE2.0........but I have to confess I still use     
   Excel...particulalrly for graphing.
