KDE 6 + Wayland : it works or not ?

The issue is that the kf5-packages you have installed come from main and
not from the new ports tree.
You can pkg-delete them first, and then have them reinstalled from the new
ports tree. There they are
configured to be co-installable with the kf6-variants.

Here's a good start to using poudriere:
