FreeBSD 4.4 is very old now, and you're missing an awful lot of updates 
and security fixes there. The -STABLE branch is now up to 4.10, and 
it's probably worth your while to update to that.

The KDE/FreeBSD team produces packages of the latest KDE for 4.10, and 
if you'd like to upgrade your whole system we can help you. I'm cc'ing 
[email protected] which is probably a better forum to get help on this 
matter.

Cheers,

Andy
