KDE 4
Install Instructions: http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4/Install
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-January/001921.html from David Johnson. Adding -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=${PTHREAD_LIBS} to CMAKE_ARGS also fixes this. This issue has been reported some 6.x systems. Further research is needed why the -pthread flags are missing.

KDE Runtime issues
kopete: IRC protocol missing (reported in http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-February/002129.html => IRC protocol is not part of kopete in 4.0.x!)
kopete: Jabber, MSN, Yahoo broken http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166679 and http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad/BugDays/KopeteDay2
- Phonon has problems with OSS support.(fix is now committed to area51)
Plasma crash on logout https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166726 (seems is fixed in 4.0.99, the right fix is to drop composite support from the xorg.conf).
