Hello,

Check out the Kde-Freebsd page for some tips.

http://freebsd.kde.org/

There is also a freebsd-kde mailing list.

I had some trouble with the same upgrade so I ended up deleting all the old 
packages and then rebuilding KDE from scratch. It's not so much bother 
really. Just delete by force everything beginning with a K!

Cheers
