I tend to prefer funtionality over worrying about a default appearance.
http://www.kde-look.org if "it's ugly" was the only complaint you had.

The ports collection is updated generally the same day the official release is
made (this is true for both KDE and GNOME, and many many other applications,
less true for others. In a very broad generalisation, the bigger and more
visible the project, the sooner the ports get updated.) KDE 3.1, for
example, has been in the ports for a few weeks now.
You have no need to compile from sources to keep current, what you need to do
is:
a: read the handbook and learn about cvsup and the ports collection
b: install sysutils/portupgrade, read it's man pages thoroughly, and use it to
keep your system up to date.

The distribution file you downloaded wasn't complete, or was otherwise
damaged. Remove it (it'll be in
/usr/ports/distfiles/gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2) and try again. It'll probably
work even better if you follow points a and b above.
