IIRC exec used to be needed for some reason, but that's been a while, merely startkde (which is just a shell script) will do. I agree that this doesn't explain OP's problem, but copying over xinit to .xinitrc and editing is not a great way to get started. Anyway, there must be a reason why kdeinit returns non-zero in startkde, and my first thought would be to run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdelibs.sh to make sure it can find the libraries it needs.
