The make only looks into /usr/share/mk for includes, until told
otherwise. bsd.port.options.mk is included before bsd.port.pre.mk, so it
can't be found. Base system was modified to install stub of the same
name into /usr/share/mk to workaround this problem.

Or try experimenting with manual inclusion of bsd.kde.mk, or check if
bsd.kde.mk provide advance inclusion mechanism (WANT_FOO usually).

That will eliminate possibility of using your port standalone, outside
ports tree.
