Hi,

The startx application is not part of KDE, but of Xorg instead. It is
installed by selecting the XINIT option of x11/xorg-apps or "by hand" with
the x11/xinit port.

The startkde4 script is in /usr/local/kde4/bin by default, as Matthias Apitz
already stated in his reply. That path is not added to your user's PATH by
the ports system, however, the KDM login manager will extend that path to any
sessions started by it.
