KDE was the first one that I was comfortable with. The thing I have found about installing KDE-2 on 3 or 4 machines was you had to let the meta port kde2 build everything belonging to kde-2. I went down the list of build-requires and run-requires and made a clean add of every one of them before I started my make and make install in /usr/ports/x11/kde2. KDE-2 is sensitive to what it requires and the meta port checks to see if qt2 is installed but you may need qt-2.2.1_2. When you update your ports with a cvsup and then do a clean installs, KDE-2 works on the first try and runs. I haven't had a core since Kevlo fixed kde2multimedia2.
