Provided that you've installed and configures the X system (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html), and installed KDE (following the directions on KDE's site: http://docs.kde.org/en/HEAD/kdebase/quickstart/ is a good place to start) you can can just type startx. However, for a "dummies style assistant" I would suggest using kdm, which is the KDE system login (much akin to the windows login screen). You can find info for this at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html
