Perforce is a tricky beast, and you need to set up P4PORT. You can also
just browse it via the web:

http://perforce.freebsd.org

That worked for me this morning.

P4PORT needs to be set to 'perforce.freebsd.org:1666'. And then you need to
set up a client view for the project you are interested, which would look
something like:

//depot/projects/kgi4bsd/... //clientdir/...

See the quick start doc on Perforce.com for more info. And I don't see the
kgi4bsd project on the FreeBSD depot either.
