[Kde-nonlinux] Please help : accidental installation of kdelibs 2.2.2_1 on top of kde3.0_1

I am using KDE3.0_1 running on FreeBSD 4.6.2 (installed after a great deal
of effort).
I then installed cervisia 1.4.1_1 from
ftp11.us.freebsd.org<http://ftp11.us.freebsd.org>using pkg_add.
Unfortunately cervisia also installed
kdelibs2.2.2_1
Now I am unable to start KDE desktop. I get an error 'Unable to start
ksmserver. Check your installation'.
I then uninstaled cervisia and kdelibs2.2.2_1 using pkg_delete,
Now I get even more errors saying 'Unable to find kdeinit and ksmserver.
Check your installation'
Search of the filesystem shows that kdeinit has disappeared
What is the fastest way to get out of this. I am hard pressed for time and
did not expect cervisia to silently mess up the kde installation.

I am willing to look at different ways so that I can at least get the
desktop started
Thanks for any answers
