[kde-freebsd] "Special" chars in a few KDE port names

Hey,

Two KDE ports contain "@" in the port / directory name.  The "@" char
is reserved in the Perforce VCS which means extra work has to be done
to handle the ports when you want to keep a copy of ports in Perforce.

The problematic ports are:

editors/koffice-i18n-sr at Latn
misc/kde3-i18n-sr at Latn

The ports already seem to do special magic to change the package name,
or at least they set 'PKGNAMEPREFIX= sr-Latn-', so I wonder if the
ports could possibly be renamed to something which does not contain
"@"?

PS. the two KDE ports are the only ones with '@' in their name.
