I have discovered that this is a known problem. There are at least two
solutions.

1)  Set "GLES=off: OpenGL ES 2.0 support in kwin and kinfocenter" in the
"/x11/kde4-workspace" port.

2) Run:  "pkg remove -f libglesv2-9.1.7" before building the port.

Evidently this problem does not surface on a fresh installation of KDE4, It
would have been nice if there had been a notation in the UPDATING log that
this condition existed.
