What I've been doing over the past few days is trying to install from /stand/sysinstall. As the meta-port attempted to install each dependency and failed, I would go to that branch in the ports directory and run make deinstall && make clean && make && make install. Then I would re-run from /stand/sysinstall and see where it failed next and repeat the process. So far, I haven't had any errors compiling. But I've just finished doing this via telnet and haven't had a chance to get to the box (at work) and see if KDE will run. I won't have a chance to verify this until after Christmas. WARNING: I'm a newbie and don't necessarily know what I'm doing. So if there's something here that seems unsafe, it is probably is and I'd appreciate knowing about it.
