KDE runs under the X Window System (XFree86). So everything is working 
the way it should. The only thing left is to tell the X Window System 
that you want to use KDE instead of the default twm.

This list is not supposed to ask technical questions, so I can't give 
you a technical answer. But I can direct you to the FreeBSD Handbook, 
section 5.7.2.2, which tells you everything you need to know. The 
Handbook is online at <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/> and if you 
installed it, locally at </usr/share/doc/handbook/>.
