Hi Jeff.  I coincidentally had a similar KDE question, so I'll try to get
you started toward your answer then pose my own question, sound good?

I started at:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/search.cgi?words=KDE&max=25&source=www
And saw a link to:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/index.html
But made up the following URL and was told no such page:
http://www.freebsd.org/kde/index.html

These two URLs are your best bet for a good FAQ about manually installing
3.0, let me know if it goes smoothly:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/kde.html
http://www.kde.org/

Now my question is... when kde is either pkg_add'ed or manually downloaded
and installed via a ./configure or "make" command, will the necessary
~/.Xsession and/or .xinitrc files etc be initialized and created/setup
automagically?  What about some kind of shell script that "audits" ones
XFree86 setup and reports where binaries and config files are or are needed?

Thanks,
