Wrong. KDE is perfectly FreeBSD friendly. Use the FreeBSD port of KDE and it should work as well for you as it does for me. Get the port from the FreeBSD site and not the KDE.org site. If I recommended any other window manager it would be FVWM2. Why do I recommend it. It is the only one that I ever used. :P I can say that I had no trouble building FVWM on FreeBSD.
