On FreeBSD we just solved this be removing that stuff too
[KDE4 and things depending on it was removed 2018-12-31, Qt4 last weekend.]
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=495967

I was kind of scared of having a big backlash to this action -- though
there was none in the end.
So as an advice from kde@FreeBSD's side: just pull the plug and remove that
stuff :)
