I have kde 2.2 from ports with 4.3-stable, and the screen saver works. 
Im using the matrix one that came with it.  What Im upset about is I 
have to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x when I lock the screen, and I cant 
get kdemultimedia's cd player to work, keeps crashing.  Other than that, 
its ok...
Ill try building the latest and see if it will fix anything, but I 
haven't seen anything that says it does.....
