Better ask on kde@ maillist. I'm not aware of anyone (except CheriBSD
folks) working on Plasma/Wayland but also don't participate in any
semi-private discussions at various meetings, conferences, etc.

The first Wayland DE on FreeBSD would probably be one of the minor ones
like LXQT, XFCE, MATE, Budgie or maybe even Cosmic. The major DEs need
as "major" time investment but GPL projects make BSD vendors shy away.
And there aren't many permissively-licensed DEs: Enlightment, Lumina,
nwg-shell. Of those nwg-shell is probably the easiest to port but
may still entail more work than any of the minor DEs under GPL.
