It is 100% reproducable on my 9-STABLE desktop machine:

The steps to reproduce:
a) rm -rf .kde4 ( mv .kde4 .. )
b) start KDE4 ( without KDE settings touch )
c) shutdown KDE ( and reboot your workstation due to current reality )
d) start KDE4 again ( it hangs )

FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE r238090

My GPU is:

intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) G33

 intel(0): [DRI2] Setup complete
 intel(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: i915
 intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 1280x1024 stride 8192, tiled
 UXA(0): Driver registered support for the following operations:
         solid
         copy
         composite (RENDER acceleration)
         put_image
         get_image
...
intel(0): direct rendering: DRI2 Enabled

kldstat output:

 8    1 0xc896e000 2e000    drm2.ko

XOrg intel port driver version:
xf86-video-intel-2.19.0 from XOrg devel trunk provided by miwi
XOrg port version:
xorg-7.5.2

built with WITH_NEW_XORG=YES

I do not load i915kms.ko and drm2.ko manually though - they are loaded
by intel video driver

At Monday I will try to collect procstat or ktrace output for hanging
