The version of libdrm required that by KDE4 is only available in NEW_XORG.
Define WITH_NEW_XORG=yes in /etc/make.conf nd build Xorg. Actually, only a
handful of ports need to be rebuilt:
/usr/ports/graphics/dri/Makefile
/usr/ports/graphics/libEGL/Makefile
/usr/ports/graphics/libGL/Makefile
/usr/ports/graphics/libdrm/Makefile
/usr/ports/graphics/libglapi/Makefile
/usr/ports/graphics/libglesv2/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-egalax/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-elographics/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-fpit/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-hyperpen/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-joystick/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-mutouch/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-penmount/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-void/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-video-rdc/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xephyr/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-nestserver/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/py-kivy/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11/kde4-workspace/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11/xorg-minimal/Makefile

Of course, you will not be using all of these.
