This is from the kde-lite port MAKEFILE:

WITHOUT_KDEVELOP=       yes
WITHOUT_KDEEDU=         yes
WITHOUT_KDENETWORK=     yes
WITHOUT_KDESDK=         yes
WITHOUT_KDETOYS=        yes
WITHOUT_KDEWEBDEV=      yes
WITHOUT_KOFFICE=        yes

Given the space limitations, I'd make a list of things you do on the 
computer that's covered by KDE apps.   Then, install kde-lite and see 
if anything is missing.  If something's missing, install the individual 
port.

For example, if you use kppp (a nifty, ppp dialup program), which is in 
kdenetwork; so you would install it using the port 
at /usr/ports/net/kdenetwork3.

Since you use OpenOffice, however, you don't need koffice taking up 
space.

Best regards,

Andrew Gould
