SOLVED!
The standard install of KDE4 through MacPorts uses Qt's phonon system, which in

I haven't been able to get the sound to work either.
All of the kdegames are silent.
If you do a port search kde you will see that all of the pertinent ports
for kde 3.5 say, No KDE sound support in the description, so sound was
obviously problematic with that version.

I've installed kdegames4 and kdeedu4 successfully (the programs all run fine)
but there's no sound/audio.
In particular, trying klettres from kdeedu4 produces no sound. On the other
hand, if I go into to the qtdemo application and load the phonon test app, I do
