Somewhere on your system is a file called ports-supfile. I have the original in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile and a modified version from my system in /root/cvsup. You need to run cvsup with ports-supfile as an argument. Then cvsup will upgrade your kde2 port from 2.0 to 2.1. Unfortunately, this probably means 2 more days of compiling. The system I found some of this on could build qt-2.2.4, make and make install of kde-2.1 in 3 hours. A simple mistake wasn't quite so time consuming. If you didn't upgrade your ports, you will also have to pkg_delete the kde-2.0 stuff and, make clean, re-make, and make install the kde-2.1 stuff. One bright note is that one of the problem pieces has been fixed while you were doing all of this. The ports and docs are different pieces of FreeBSD and cvsuping one doesn't get the other. If you are tracking -stable, it isn't as important to keep the ports current. When a major feature such as kde-2.1 comes a long, you then have to upgrade to your port system before you can make use of it. There are articles of keeping current in the handbook that show you how to use cvsup and all you have to do is find a close cvsup mirror and add that to the server in the ports file. This way you don't have to worry about the tag=RELENG_4 and tag=. problem.
