Yes. You need to install xorg instead. You can use pkg_add -r xorg
which would be quicker than building the port. It's explained very
well in the handbook, which also tells how to configure it when
the install has finished:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html

There's also a section (5.7.3.1) on enabling The KDE Display Manager:
