Sometimes files get moved around between packages when new versions are
released.  This looks like the case with the new tetex and pdftex:  In
tetex-2.0-*, /sw/bin/pdfetex comes from tetex-base, whereas in earlier
versions of tetex, it came from pdftex.

pdftex is supposed to be obsolete now, so try doing another
"selfupdate-cvs" to try to clear it out as a dependency, and then try to
build KDE again.
