I have kde4 up, including Konqueror. I ran pkg_rolling-replace to upgrade from 
previous versions of the packages, which took a few weeks and restarts, then 
installed kde4, which went pretty smoothly (Qt was upgraded by rolling-
replace). If you run "bmake install" in the kde4 directory on a fresh install 
with no packages, it should install the whole thing smoothly.
