Francois,

I don't know if you've got digikam working yet but I found this 
<http://frontrangebsd.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2004-December/009990.html> 
which should fix it for you - just need to cvsup your ports tree and 
rebuild.

It got rid of the mutex errors for me but I still get "Can't connect to 
camera" in digikam itself :-(

I hope you have better luck!

Regards,

Mark
