yes, there are packages for kde 4.4.4 in the 8-stable repository (to
change repository, use something like
`PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r kde4`), but they don't have the fix. you have to wait for
4.4.5 packages, or to build from the ports (you will also get some
options for optional dependencies)

hello!
a fix for (console|policy)kit related issues was committed two weeks
ago.  you need to upgrade your kde, and yes, you need to use kdm or
gdm to use policykit (there is a howto on http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4
- at least i guess... the wiki doesn't work at the moment)
