Ha - I *thought* something like that (as kde4 is a metaport).
An option would be to remove all kde4 related stuff by pkg_delete
and then use the obvious "make install" for the metaport,
resulting in installing the current versions of the metaport's
component and the dependencies (if also removed).

Entry 20090804 comes with an example:

  # pkg_delete -f phonon-4\* phonon-gstreamer\* kdebase-\*4\* kdepim-4\*
  # portmaster -a (or portupgrade -a)
  # cd ${PORTSDIR}/x11/kde4 && make config && make install clean

I'm not sure if the OP's binary packages were from 8.0-RELEASE
or already newer (e. g. obtained via pkg_add -r from Latest/).
