As others said, you will have to cvsup your ports tree to get the right patches and such. One of the easiest ways of getting started on this is the cvsupit package. Try downloading ( or from an install CD ) and installing the package or make the port. It's at /usr/ports/net/cvsupit It gives you a really easy interface to cvsup and works well till you have a chance to figure out supfiles and such. When you add the package it immediately runs cvsup. If you just want to cvsup your ports, pick none from the first screen, continue and then say yes to ports tree updating. After a while you'll have a new ports tree. Others have said that pkg_delete does a little better job of cleaning everything out than make deinstall does. So try pkg_delete kdebase-1.x (or whatever pkg_info tells you it is called) and it will tell you which packages depend on it that you need to delete. Delete all of them then do a make clean in the ports directory for kde 1.x. It should clean all the junk from each of the packages under kde1.x. Then make qt2 with gif support (if you want) and then make install clean kde2. Koffice is really not very stable for me, though it shows a lot of promise. Konqueror is simply great. As another data point it took 3.5 hours to build on a duron 700 with ata66 hard drives and a cable modem.
