Been having this message too, but since it's a non-critical issue I 
haven't looked at it until now.

The message comes from running "genkdmconf" to update your KDM 
configuration.  The latest KDE has installed 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/genkdmconf.sh which runs the "real" genkdmconf in 
update mode every time you boot.  I'm not exactly sure why this is 
necessary, since the files really only need to be updated if/when you've 
changed your configuration or upgraded KDE.  If the messages bother you, 
move (or remove) genkdmconf.sh from rc.d.  Personally, since I now know 
the messages' origin I'll just ignore them.

Later,
Micah
