Thanks for replying.  The only thing I had to do to build kde4 was
to comment out games/kpat from the kde4 Makefile. Everything else
built ok.

If you don't mind, exactly what are you doing to make it work? To
try to simplify, I am just trying to launch it from startx using
startkde in .xinitrc. This worked when I tried using it a number
