I (or you) could add it in the post-activate hook of the kde4 portgroup.
That means it'll get's shown after every package using that portgroup
will get installed.

Currently it looks like this:
######################################################
#  Programs will not start until you run the command #
#  'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE'   #
#  replacing $USER with your username, followed by   #
#  'open /Applications/Macports/KDE4/kdeinit4.app'   #
#  in a Terminal.                                    #
######################################################
