That is possible.  In the future, I will go to the kde-nonlinux list.

This originally seemed like the most appropriate list since Dragonfly
seems to maintain a high level of API and sys admin compatibility with
FreeBSD.  Most of the time, for projects with configure scripts that do
not recognize Dragonfly, I can create a uname wrapper that reports
FreeBSD to trick the configure script and they compile fine.

If it ends up being a library compatibility issue, then I understand
nobody here knowing the answer.  However, I did not expect the FreeBSD
community to not want any questions about or mention of closely related
systems such as PC-BSD or Dragonfly on their lists.

kde4 was not in pkgsrc.  I was trying to compile it directly.
