You might want to try either using a LiveCD version to get familiar with
FreeBSD, like FreeSBIE http://www2.freesbie.org/ which is also
installable by running a script from a terminal while logged into the
FreeSBIE desktop, or for a more newbie friendly non-liveCD distribution,
I'd take a look at PC-BSD http://www.pcbsd.org/ .

FreeSBIE uses the XFCE4 desktop as default, although after installing to
your harddrive, KDE is installable through the FreeBSD "ports" system.
PC-BSD utilizes the KDE 3.4.0 desktop as the default. Good luck, hope
that helps.
