Sure - pygame no longer builds any kfreebsd-* binaries in unstable, but there are still kfreebsd-* packages with dependencies on pygame. The lack of kfreebsd-* binaries appears to have been a side-effect of the "new" build-dependency on libportmidi-dev, which does not exist on kfreebsd-*. The binaries were therefore removed in early December (#651126). In order to resolve the situation, either pygame needs to start building on kfreebsd-* again or the reverse-dependencies need to be fixed to not try and use pygame on kfreebsd-*.
