Qt expects to be built with GNU make, not FreeBSD make.  You also need to do 
"gmake install", not "make install".

There is really no point in compiling any of this outside the ports structure, 
when it's already in the ports ( whihc are standing at versions Qt 3.0.5, and 
KDE 3.0.3 right now.)  There are a lot of advantages to compiling within the 
ports system, not least including that we patch system specific 
differences/bugs there, that the paths will be correct according to hier(7) 
and that you will be able to get support from the [email protected] mailing 
list.

cvsup your ports tree (as described in the FreeBSD handbook: 
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/ ) then:

cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt3 && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 && make install clean

Of, if you really just want to install it, not sit there watch it compile for 
hours on end, you could investigate portupgrade, pkg_add -r and the packages 
on http://mango.fruitsalad.org  (see the site in my sig for precise 
installation/upgrade instructions)  Unless you intend to customize your ports 
compilation, or have specific entries in /etc/make.conf for optimization, the 
packages are identical to the result you would receive from compiling the 
ports.  Even if you do have optimizations, the resulting performance 
improvement may not be worth the time and cycles involved in getting there.
