I can only give a generic UNIX reply since I haven't used BSD.

You don't need to remove Qt.  The common wisdom is that you should have
KDELibs installed in a different directory, and you MUST have KDEBase
installed in a different directory.

What I did was remove every KDE package, install Qt-3.x (I left Qt-2.x
where it was), upgraded aRts, and installed KDE-3 in "/usr/kde3/".  I
don't know exactly what happens with aRts since KDE-3 insisted that aRts
1.0 needed to be in the KDE-3 directory tree and I think that KDE-2.x
includes a version of aRts.  Then I reinstalled: KDELibs and KDEBase in:
"/usr/local/kde2/" so I could continue to use KDE-2 apps.
