When ever you pull off a cvsup of the ports tree, you MUST, again - MUST 
read /usr/ports/UPDATING
to view additional instructions, issues, etc. That should be the 2nd 
thing you do. 1st being the actual cvsup.

Read that file and see if anything pops out at you. KDE has never really 
been a to-the-point upgrade.
There have always been gotcha's.
