I'm not sure that 'branched' correctly describes the structure of the OpenBSD
CVS tree. Each revision (e.g.3.7) is built on the previous version (eg. 3.6), but 
only the two most recent revisions are supported. All the ports are built for each 
revision and usually not updated until the next revision of the OS. That's why the 
KDE package is  usually not the most recent.

I appreciate the help you have already supplied. Thanks!

Marc is a very busy man. I need to learn to build the most current version of KDE 
on OpenBSD myself.
