Last time I installed X, I used the x11/xorg metaport and pkg_add:

   pkg_add -r xorg

...much faster than building ports. I don't know how much about KDE, but 
I'd suggest that you get X working first and then tackle KDE, rather than 
try to do everything in one big step.

I have the file .xinitrc in ~, but I think that gets created by the xorg 
install process. Don't know what you would need for KDE, but I would hope 
the package/port would create a default version of whatever you need.

Hope it goes well!
