I'm running KDE4 w/pulseaudio built entirely from ports -- albeit on 
8.4-STABLE.  I also use portupgrade rather than portmaster, though that 
shouldn't matter.  Why not start with posting some of the errors that 
you got along with the port that you received the error on?  Shouldn't 
be _too_ painful to get it working :)
