are you serious?

You want to install all packages?

This are some 16 000 packages?

Just install the base system (FreeBSD).

Then create a .cvs file to update the port tree, run csup and then 
either install packages with pkg_add -r or install from source with make 
install.

I think there is a huge difference between all of the components and the 
things needed to run KDE.
