No, I just rebuilt 3 machines and didn't have any problems. I ended up 
running -rpuf on portupgrade a number of times before kde-3.0.4 was 
fully linked to all of the new mods. It seemed like there were new 
versions of everything and a -Rpuf would have been better :). There 
were too many ports at the same level as kde-3 and I thought moving up 
the tree towards kde was better than working the other way.

I thought there was an easier way but never saw one. The builds were 
done on AMD 1600-2000 class machines and it never interfered with 
anything else.
