Make sure you have  /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt31 and the following packages 
installed:

kdebase-3.1.x
kdelibs-3.1.x
arts-1.1.x

The latest ones in ports are:
arts-1.1.2,1
kdeadmin-3.1.2                 up-to-date with port
kdebase-3.1.2_1                up-to-date with port
kdegraphics-3.1.2              up-to-date with port
kdelibs-3.1.2                  up-to-date with port
kdemultimedia-3.1.2            up-to-date with port
kdenetwork-3.1.2               up-to-date with port
kdepim-3.1.2                   up-to-date with port
kdesdk-3.1.2                   up-to-date with port
kdeutils-3.1.2                 up-to-date with port
kdevelop-2.1.5              up-to-date with port

Then in   your user account do:

$ echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc

finally do startx, in your user account, to start kde.
