Did you start out with kde4 running. If so, did you follow the instructions 
in ../ports/UPDATING? Kdepim4 had things moved around. If you update without 
deleting kdepim first, you have missing files. It is hard to diagnose your 
problem with out the messages. It is difficult to jump in a successfully 
build the ports on fbsd. You can use portmanager, portupgrade, or portmaster. 
If you don't use one of them, failure is common.

That is sort of like rebuilding the engine of your car when you have a faulty 
transmission. I used linux-f8, perl-5.10, and python-2.6. My fast system is 
an Intel E8500; however, I am running i386 version of 7-stable.

Portupgrade fubared my gnutls update on the slow system, which I use packages 
built on the fast machine. I had packages that still pointed to perl-5.8.9 
and the -f option ignored conflicts and installed both versions of perl.
