To cut the searching short when you try the next time, the KDE metaport is 
x11/kde3. Also, if you build ports, do it this way: 

make && make install && make clean

The shorthand 'make install clean' is not guaranteed to work right and will in 
particular not work right with x11/kde3.

I'd second that.
