Also make sure you have an Xserver that works.
This is how I do it:
X -configure  follow directions moving XF86Config.new to
/etc/X11/XF86Config install kde3 the metaport: cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 &&
make install create file .xinitrc with startkde in it startx with
whatever options you want to startx with I use: startx -- -depth 24

works for me.
