Given that I was one of the persons pestering Adriaan about KDE4/FreeBSD
at FOSDEM, I'll just post the results of my build of KDE4 on FreeBSD
6-STABLE here. I've no idea if they are known bugs, but hopefully it
serves someone:

- I've installed kdebase, -runtime, -workspace, kdegraphics,
kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepimlibs and kdeutils (and their dependencies).
They compile fine, the only part I had to change was to comment out the
-I/usr/local/include in the WITH_CUPS part of qt4-gui, otherwise the qt3
include files would get loaded first.

Most stuff seems to run fine, except for some tidbits I noticed (in random
order of importance):
- trying to access https sites with Konqueror results in an "SSL
negotiation failed" error. At first I thought this was because I didn't
have qca installed, but installing qca doesn't seem to solve it;
- the freebsd.org site behaves weirdly with konqueror: it needs a reload
before it shows up and links seem to disappear when you move over them
with the mouse pointer;
- the IRC protocol is missing in kopete.

So. I hope this helps, and if there is anything more I can test, please
let me know!

  Jaap
