It's not really the fault of the KDE port; it puts headers/libraries in
places appropriate for FreeBSD.

What *is* the culprit is that most KDE apps use GNU autoconf to control the
build process, and autoconf doesn't yet have a nice set of KDE macros
(unlike QT, etc) which the end-user can use to point to the KDE includes and
libraries.   This means that configure is left attempting to find them
itself, and looks in all the Linux places but not the FreeBSD places.  I
usually end up editing the configure script to hard-code the location of the
KDE libraries and includes.
