Works fine here:

# pkg_info -W `which meinproc`
/usr/local/bin/meinproc was installed by package kdelibs-3.4.2_1

You must have cvsup'd your ports recently? Meinproc is what compiles the help 
file to html pages. Yours is not up to date apparently (at least not 
enough... KDE 3.4.0) and that's likely why you get these errors. So you need 
to update kdelibs, and indeed the rest of KDE. Yup, all of it :)

See /usr/ports/UPDATING if upgrading from ports. There's probably also 
packages somewhere.

Alternatively, you could try to find a package for kxmleditor that was built 
at the time of your release, or (a bit hackerish but will work), temporarily 
replace the current kxmleditor port directory you have with the one from the 
5.4-REL CD or repository and build that one. But I'd recommend biting the 
bullet and upgrading the whole lot.

HTH,
