 Hi,
 
 I decided last night to try and install KDE4. I left it compiling to go to  
 bed. When I got up, I saw that it had his this snag:
 
 checking for vasprintf... yes
 checking for gsapi_new_instance in -lgs... no
 configure: error: You need libgs in order to compile libspectre
 
 
 I can't find a port that installs libgs. At least, I did these two things:
 
 make search name=libgs
 make search name=ghostscript
 

I did `make search name=libspectre' which is where your build failed.  I see 
afew dependencies on ghostscript and gsfonts.  Either try building libspectre 
directly (/usr/ports/print/libspectre) or the ghostscript/gsfonts dependencies 
directly.

Regards,

A port upgrade to ghostscript seemed to correct that problem.
