Here's a script which should automatically fix the origin for the
kde4-versioned ports (based on the MOVED entries of r465345):
   http://people.freebsd.org/~tcberner/scripts/fix_kde4_origins.sh

It //should// set the origins properly for the moved ports, and the output
should be on the lines of
# ./fix_kde4_origins.sh
[...]
- sysutils/baloo-widgets [sysutils/baloo-widgets-kde4] is not installed.
+ Changing origin of nepomuk-core-4.14.3_14 from sysutils/nepomuk-core to
sysutils/nepomuk-core-kde4.
- sysutils/kfloppy [sysutils/kfloppy-kde4] is not installed.
- sysutils/ksystemlog [sysutils/ksystemlog-kde4] is not installed.
+ Changing origin of baloo-4.14.3_5 from sysutils/baloo to
sysutils/baloo-kde4.
+ Changing origin of kfilemetadata-4.14.3_13 from sysutils/kfilemetadata to
sysutils/kfilemetadata-kde4.
[...]


Please let me know if that works for you, or how I could improve it.
