I can't speak to DarwinPorts as I don't have it on my machine, but the 
info about the native KDE port to OS X can be found at 
http://ranger.befunk.com/phpwiki. There you'll find links to binary 
installers and configuration instructions.

The KDE native port is described as "pre-alpha," and is a little rough 
in spots. That's the main drawback. The advantage, of course, is 
running without the overhead of the X11 server, which tends to slow 
things down a lot. I got rid of my FInk installation after getting the 
native KDE running smoothly on my box (iBook, 10.3.2).

Hope that helps.
