Over the weekend in trying to build xorg and kde from packages, none

If one goes to /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/kde (1)
/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.2-release/kde (2)
there does not seems to be a kde meta port in (1). In (2) there is:
kde-3.5.4.tbz -> ../All/kde-3.5.4.tbz
In general all packages seem to be a symlink to ../All/.. I had
assumed this was the same directory and there was really one instance
of the ports tree per major release of FreeBSD. so I never
(knowingly) distinguished between -<n>-stable and -<n.x>-release. Is
there a difference.
Is there a working kde package in -6-stable?
I'm using 6.2-release and there is the x11/kde3 meta port.

PS: I've upgraded ports on Aug 14th; but logically the kde3 metaport
should have had been there before the upgrade.
Thanks. Using ftp.safeport.com via a browser does indeed show
.../packages-6.2-release/Latest/kde.tbz --> ../All/kde-3.5.4.tbz
.../packages-6-stable/Latest/ does not have a kde.tbz
.../packages-6-stable/All/ has kde-3.5.7.tbz
Under these conditions, should I use PACKAGESITE =
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-/Latest/ ??
After setting PACKAGESITE running 'pkg_add -rvn kde' gives you the idea
as it "does not actually install a package, just reports the steps that
would be taken if it was" (quote from 'man 1 pkg_add').
HTH,
Bahman
