What do you mean by   clean the ports?

Some of my KDE is pooched.
I installed from the 4.5 iso.  Most of KDE was not there so I installed what 
was missing from /stand/sysinstall using my 4.4 iso disk.  It seemed to work. 
 Now, my backgrounds disapear.  KDE file manager acts up.  When in icon mode, 
if I move the cursor over the icon area the file manager disapears.  I can 
fix it by going to View, View Mode, Detailed List View, or Text View, or Tree 
View.
Whats the best way to go here, to get everything in working order?
