Sorry, actually it does not work. I tried the patch originally
referenced by
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2010-January/007472.html

Unfortunately that patch broke things a lot, KDE started stalling for a
lot of time when starting programs etc........

Without FAM/GAMIN KDE is configured to use the polling method to
check for file changes, which allways polls and the CPU is running at
14% eternally. 

Changing the PollInterval and other parameters in the .kderc did not
have any effect. 

FAM on KDE is broken :-( 

I suppose someone will have to rewrite that to use freebsd's native
kernel support for file changes....
