Just a minute. You shouldn't portupgrade KDE when KDE is running, but
you should be able to run `make' to build everything while KDE is
running, shut down KDE and `portupgrade -w' afterwards (which will use
the binaries built by `make' and install them, taking seriously less
time than the original `make') and restart KDE. At least that's how it
would with an ordinary port.

So if your only problem is that you can't use the thing without KDE,
then this approach should solve the problem (use nice(1) to change the
make's priority so that the box is really usable).

If you want to know what god thinks of money, just look at the people
he gave it to.
