This question was just answered this morning in the thread "KDE and FreeBSD ISO's." You can find a list of the missing packages - and other problems with the release - here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.5R/errata.html I don't know KDE that well, but chances are the functionality you're missing can be found in the omitted packages. Probably the easiest way to install them would be to use the ports collection, though I'm sure pre-compiled packages are available.
