I just started KDE for you and it worked. Here are the details:

KDE 4.8.3

Starting X is done by a script:

sudo kldload i915kms
sudo kldload acpi_call
sudo chmod 666 /dev/acpi
startx

.xinitrc looks like this (after deleting the comments):

xset m 10 3
xmodmap .xmodmaprc
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde

I only started konqueror to open FreeBSD.org. It worked as expected.
