That's normal (and correct).

You can run KDE applications under Gnome and vise versa as long as the
required toolkits are in place. Unfortunately in your case this means
Qt.

If you wish. For your uses I don't suppose that'll you see much of a
different however.

Just your personal files.

People who subscribe to this list should expect to be bugged, so its no
problem :)

One way or another you'll want to get a copy of Qt. There are a couple
of choices for you, and you need to be able to resume the download. I
suggest the following:
Type the following commands:
(Lines prefixed with > mean as a normal user, ones with # mean as root.)
> ftp ftp.uk.freebsd.org
cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/x11-toolkits
(youll need to type this at the ftp> prompt)
lcd ~
bin
get qt-2.3.1_1.tgz
(download as much of qt as you can, until your disconnected)
quit
(back at the shell prompt rather than at ftp>)
===
> ls -l ~/qt-2.3.1_1.tgz
(make a note, mental or otherwise, of the size of the file in bytes)
> ftp ftp.uk.freebsd.org
cd /pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/x11-toolkits
lcd ~
bin
rest NUMBER
(number is the size we made a note of before, the amount we downloaded)
get qt-2.3.1_1.tgz
(this will restart the download where we got disconnected)
repeat
===
Keep doing the section enclosed with === until you have the complete
file, then:
# pkg_add -v /home/username/qt-2.3.1_1.tgz
Install the Qt package. Remember to replace username with your accounts
name.
You should then hopefully be able to go back and build KDE successfully.
