These are port stubs. In order to build and install the binaries and libs, you need to untar all the archives. Tehn, in the /usr/ports dir, create directories to put the untarred archives in. These directories are named after the category from which the .tar files were taken. For instace, kde.tar, kdelibs.tar, and kdebase.tar need to be put in /usr/ports/x11. jpeg, imlib, and kdegraphics go in /usr/ports/graphics. Go to the ports page off the FreeBSD homepage to find out all the right categories. Once you've moved all the stub dirs into the category dirs, cd to /usr/ports/x11/kde, and type make all install clean. This will download all the sources, build kde, and install it. Of course, this requires an Internet connection.
