/usr/ports/x11/kde2 has nothing in it except requirements for all the other ports. So nothing would happen until you do make install. You never said you did that. The other things that can go wrong is that you have older versions of some of the packages required by kde, e.g., Mesa, qt. You can check what all the required packages are by going to http://freebsd.org/ports and search for kde-2.2.2. I just installed the package versions as a test and that works. You only need kdebase-2.2.2_1 and kdelibs-2.2.2 plus all their requirements to get enough bring it up for a look-see. If you are going to compile everything it would be worth going to www.kde.org and trying to find if there are any recommened compiler options to make things better. But if I read your post correctly 'make install' should start downloading and compiling pulling in the dependencies as required. Depending on how fast your system is it will be done in a day or so :) Install linux support from /stand/sysinstall first if you have not already done that. Another easier path would be to install the kde package from sysinstall if that is kde 2.1. I am using 2.1.2. After looking at 2.2.2 I am inclined to wait for kde 3.
