The version of KDE in the ports tree is 4.6.3, the current May updates
version.  You may have brought your ports tree up to date, and
portsclean is just removing the unreferenced 4.6.2 files.  Whether you
have them installed or not is not the key.  It is whether they are
referenced by a port in *your* ports tree, which they are not.
