It appears that the current version of the KDE port is 3.0.5. You will probably need to use the ported version, unless you want to attempt to download the 3.1 sources and manually apply the FreeBSD 3.0.5 patches - and then hope that those patches still fully apply to version 3.1. You should probably stick with the ported version, especially if you are just getting started with FreeBSD. Later, when the port is upgraded to 3.1 you should either use the tool called portupgrade (/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to upgrade KDE, and any ports for that matter, or deinstall the current KDE port and then install the new.
