start kde in 8.1

[Tim Dunphy]

Hey guys,

 Yes xorg is installed:

 [bluethundr at bsd1 /usr/local/kde4/bin]$ pkg_info -Ix xorg-7
xorg-7.5            X.Org complete distribution metaport

But startkde does not appear to be in /usr/local/kde4/bin

[bluethundr at bsd1 /usr/local/kde4/bin]$ ls
checkXML                        kjs
dolphin                         kjscmd
kappfinder                      konqueror
kbookmarkmerger                 konsole
kbuildsycoca4                   konsoleprofile
kconfig_compiler                kross
kcookiejar4                     kshell4
kde4-config                     kunittestmodrunner
kded4                           kwrapper4
kdeinit4                        kwrite
kdeinit4_shutdown               makekdewidgets
kdeinit4_wrapper                meinproc4
kdepasswd                       nepomuk-rcgen
kdialog                         nspluginscan
keditbookmarks                  nspluginviewer
kfind                           preparetips
kfmclient                       servicemenudeinstallation
kinfocenter                     servicemenuinstallation

 I have so far only installed kde4base.. I am attempting to install
the full KDE 4...

thanks for your help
