I'm afraid there aren't such "meta-packages" in Ports per se. > Which packets are essential for the "desktop exerience" (without > applications)? GNOME: gnome-session should pull in the basics. KDE: kdebase, kcminit, kdesktop, kicker, konqueror, kpersonalizer, kreadconfig, ksmserver, ksplash, kwin. XFCE: xfce-utils, xfce4-panel, xfce4-session, xfdesktop, xfwm4. > Also: is it correct that I would start KDE with "startkde", > Gnome with gnome-session and XFCE with xfce-session?

Ports includes a number of packages which override those found in the distro, due to newer version, additional features, etc. In the case of Python, the Ports version includes an X11 tkinter, OSS sound, sqlite3, and db4.5.
