The trick with the ports collection is the search facility. cd /usr/ports make search key=kde You will notice that several kde packages get listed. You have to build them in a certain order. I think the first is kdesupport, then kdelibs, then kdebase. Other kde packages are optional (but I recommend them) such as kdegames etc. Get yourself connected to the 'net, cd into the directory and type make install.
