For the interested, here's a hacked together kdm4 script, using the
gdm.in above as a basis.  It works here, although that isn't really
saying much.  :)  I called it kdm4 to differentiate it from kdm from
kdebase3:

#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: kdm
# REQUIRE: LOGIN cleanvar moused syscons dbus hald
#
# Add the following to /etc/rc.conf to start KDM 4.x at boot time:
#
# kdm4_enable="YES"
#

. /etc/rc.subr

kdm4_enable=${kdm4_enable-no}

export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/kde4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

name="kdm"
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
command="/usr/local/kde4/bin/${name}"
procname="/usr/local/kde4/bin/${name}-bin"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
start_cmd="kdm_start"

kdm_start()
{
        echo "Starting ${name}."

        ( iter=0
        while ! ps -axoargs | grep "^/usr/libexec/getty " | grep -qv
grep >/dev/null 2>&1; do
                if [ ${iter} -eq 60 ]; then
                        break
                fi
                sleep 1
                iter=$(expr ${iter} + 1)
        done
        iter=0
        while ! /usr/local/bin/lshal >/dev/null 2>&1 ; do
                if [ ${iter} -eq 60 ]; then
                        break
                fi
                sleep 1
                iter=$(expr ${iter} + 1)
        done

        ${command} ${kdm_flags} ) &
}

load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command "$1"
