Thanks for all the answers :)
...and sposibo to Vadim and Amit for all the great work!
For Vadim: if I understand well about the hal dilemma, hotplugd would at
least mount USB devices, so things like phonon would be out
Actually, Phonon rely on something else: GStreamer, VLC... At the
present, only VLC plugin works fine.
KDE relies on UDev here and there, didn't even count all the places yet.

be controlled as usual by OpenBSD standard facilities? Which one would be
the level of integration with native apps like kmix?
KMix is not usable now, need to meet it with sndio. Dragon needs love
too: crashes, bugs etc. Other multimedia parts worked fine for me.

intel-based video chipsets work accelerated (i.e. composting) or not?
As far as I recall, it worked for me.
When 5.0 comes out, I could gladly test it on sparc64,
You'll need -CURRENT for testing anyway, too many KDE-related changes
since release: CMake 2.8.6, Raptor2, wscanf(3), removal of JDK <= 1.5,
Qt 4 updates...
SPARC tests would be great! :)

Would it be enough? It's an UltraSPARC IIi 650MHz, would it take ages to
compile or what? Right now the lowest platform I had KDE4 running is a
Pentium3-M 1.133MHz under debian, but that one just sports canned-out
packages, never compiled a row. Maybe I could borrow a V240 dual 1,5MHz 8GB
ram from a friend, but dunno which graphic card would fit there without
hassles (I've read a recent post on sparc@ about the "would be" video-card
compatibility list for OpenBSD which turned out to be too "optimistic" when
effectively tried out...).
Thanks
Paolo

Btw, since 4.6 kde abandoned hal, how does this fit with OpenBSD?
Thanks
We can get it in the main tree when there are testers who are willing
to devote their time and give feedback.
On October 10th Vadim posted a patch to ports@ on which can be tested
on other architectures: sparc/sparc64/loongson etc.. wherever KDE
claims to have support. KDE might support only a few, we don't know.
We need to find out which arches work in our tree for KDE 4.7.2.
Remi Pointel worked on this initially, now Vadim is working on KDE
4.7.2 and if we get testers we will be hopefully be able to get this
effort in. Without testers and feedback nothing goes in the main
tree!!!
Like Vadim said, please start testing next week, when he can get some
time to polish up some stuff. If you need help look at the porting
FAQ, man ports, man bsd.port.mk
thanks in advance
