I originally was using it on 9.0 then I upgraded everything but that didn't work well for the KDE 4.8->4.9 update in ports. Too many ports were split and moved around so I ended up removing all ports and remaking them all. One big gotcha is make sure you force a reconfigure on everything. My small nightmare was kdepim,kdepim-runtime and kdepimlibs there are now two deferment types of PIM you can built the old "4.8 style" and the new. Make sure you are consistent as these packages are deps for many others. For a while I was still picking up settings for the old style and it was breaking all over the place. If you want I can send you a list of all the stuff I have installed off list and you can see if you're somehow missing important bits...
