Yes, you can. Read any READMEs there carefully, and download all non-KDE 
packages there as well that you don't already have installed (or uninstall 
any old versions you might have).

I am not using these packages because they expect to find a stock 4.5-RELEASE 
installation, but I have since upgraded several of the dependent ports so 
they don't work for me. So I am waiting a few more weeks for the official 
port to come out.
