From kdiff3 homepage looks that from version 0.9.93 kdiff3 works with KDE4. 
Earlier version worked with KDE3 only. In ports is version 0.9.95 and in 
Makefile it's line USE_KDE4 so it builds with KDE4. You can take earlier port 
version 0.9.92 manually from 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/kdiff3/
or use ports-mgmt/portdowngrade
