You can use wildcards or just look at the name in /var/db/pkg.

I have tcsh auto-completion commands in my .tcshrc:

complete pkg_info "p@*@F:/var/db/pkg/@"
complete pkg_delete "p@*@F:/var/db/pkg/@"

that would just let me pkg_delete openoffice<TAB> and have it
autocomplete.

You probably need to teach KDE about it explicitly.  There is a KDE
menu update tool that might find it.
