There are other ways to help though: Read the porter's handbook and look at existing ports, then find unported KDE software, make ports for it and maintain them. If porting the software involves a lot of patching, work with the upstream authors to get the patches merged back into the sourcecode rather than filling up the files/ directory of a port. Also, many existing ports of KDE applications are unmaintained and some of them are pretty outdated. Stepping up and taking maintainership of a currently unmaintained port is a great way to become familiar with the ports system.
