Okay, so I'm a KDE bigot. :)

But, there is some nice stuff out there for GNOME.  Which I run anyway in 
KDE.  Just need the GNOME libraries.  And as it's just part of GNOME I'm 
using, and I'm not going to be using it for my desktop, I don't feel I 
have to install from source.

So I imagine that if you want to run quanta in GNOME you just need the 
libraries.  Download the KDELIBS package and install that, then do your 
port install of Quanta.

  pkg_add -r kdelibs

will fetch the pre-compiled KDE library and install it for you.
