It depends on how your download status is. I would think about 
downloading one of the 4.10-rc's. If you are careful, you should be 
able to find one that has packages/All on it. 

Up front, you have a systematic problem here because on my system, there 
are probably 40-50 ports that depend on expat2 and you have to upgrade 
all of them. 

Fruitsalad has some of them that are of interest to KDE. That site is
http://rabarber.fruitsalad.org/packages/3.2.2-final-6/4-STABLE/All/

Like all mirrors, they run a bit behind. I recently built everything 
(-rRfa) on ruby, my test computer, and 303 ports required 12:20. I use 
an Intel P-II 400 for some stuff and it runs close to 16x slower at 
building things than ruby does.
