Another wee issue is that kdelibs' Makefile has a bogus conflict line. If you 
try to upgrade kde3 with kde4 installed, even though they have different 
install prefixes, kdelibs-3.5.10 throws an error with "conflicts with 
kdelibs-4.1.0". I had to fall back to using pkg_delete -f and pkg_add -f 
manually.

I suggest:
-CONFLICTS+=	kdelibs-[0-9]*
+CONFLICTS+=	kdelibs-3.[0-9]*
and
-CONFLICTS+=	kdelibs-nocups-[0-9]*
+CONFLICTS+=  kdelibs-nocups-3.[0-9]*
since we only have kde3 and kde4 in the ports.
