Are you willing to step up as the maintainer of the KDE3 ports? Or

they are lots of work to keep up in shape and if no one wants to
maintain them they succumb to what is called "bitrot" very quickly
when something changes in dependent ports or in the base system.
When/if that happens, we can renew the conversation. For the time
being there are no build errors.
Indeed. That a port is old is not a good reason to remove it.
That a port is unmaintained is also not a good reason to remove it.
If a port stops working and nobody steps up to fix it, *then* removal
becomes a reasonable action, but not before that.
