The thing is I don't want to use the ports.  I've used the ports
collection and it works all fine and dandy and I use it for everything
else I install.  But I want to track KDE via cvsup like I do with
FreeBSD, mainly to catch small but annoying fixes between major source
releases.  The problem is I followed the instructions at kde.org for
cvsup and I still can't get it to compile.  I figured there's got to be
someone here that is doing this already, and maybe could point out
something I did wrong.
