Thanks all.

man pkg_delete certainly implies your interpretation.

It was pointed out to me that the action I was assuming (i.e., a
deinstall of the kde meta-port would remove all the parts of KDE) was
not logical. In my case I had installed Mesa and qt individually. So a
deinstall can (should) not just walk blindly down the dependency tree
removing ports. 

Sort off the topic but I found kde2 to be much too slow (for me) on my
166MHz so I am going back to 1.9 for the moment. if anyone else shares
the too big, too slow thought; what would you try next for a window
manager?
