For sure you need cygwin installed before cygwin-ports.
I was able to stumble through getting KDE to run on cygwin, so it’s do-able
today.
Performance was pretty un-usable, however, in my limited testing.
Couldn’t get kCacheGrind, however, which was my real pressing need, so I’m
successfully using X-server with the X-client on the Linux box to run KDE
“there” and view it “here”.
This is an answer from a newbie user, and is probably wildly inaccurate in at
least some part.

Subject: [Cygwin-ports-general] Using Cygwin Ports
Hi,
The last time i tried to use cygwin ports i noticed that i needed to have
cygwin installed to use the ports is that correct?
I couldnt get kde to statrup, which resulted me in ssh to my laptop and
starting kde panel by hand each time i used it. That became a pain in the
behind. Is there a straight foward howto on using ports and X
apps,managers,and the sort.
Thank You,
Sherman
