You're not the first person to request this or something similar, but
unfortunately koffice is too integrated for its own good, especially at
buildtime - the applications cannot be separately built without
compiling a considerate part of the rest of the office suite each time,
which would be less of a problem if FreeBSD were as
binary-package-centric as most Linux distributions, but since most users
actually do compile KOffice from ports, and making each component of
KOffice a separate port would increase the build time for the whole
thing by close to 50%, it's not going to happen.

The next best thing you can do - use a binary package instead of
compiling the whole thing. Unless you're on a dial-up connection, this
should be considerably less time- and energy-consuming than building
from ports.

Cheers,
