I'm certainly no authority, but when I asked this question a few days ago I 
was told that installing over the earlier version is the procedure described 
on xfree.org. I tried first deinstalling 3.3.6 but wasn't able to do it 
cleanly. So I installed 4.0.3 over 3.3.6 and I've been using it since then 
with no problems (And I'm running KDE 2.1.1) 

Make sure you update your ports list if you want to get XFree86-4.0.3 and KDE 
2.1.1.

PS: I believe that questions like this should be posted on freebsd-questions 
and not on freebsd-newbies.
