KDE5's display manager is known as Simple Desktop Display Manager or
sddm. x11/sddm is the port.

I am having trouble remembering if installing the port will by default
launch plasma5-plasma.If it doesn't reply and ill give some more direction.
Also, I suggest adding kde-freebsd@freebsd.org for kde related topics.
