It should be the same as FreeBSD - you can install from the ports. Or from
dfports, if an override exists. Install the port for XFree86-4, then kde3.
The two caveats I can think of:
- XFree86 may have dependencies that won't install automatically. I've read
other folks reporting a need to do a 'make install' directly in the
depended-on port's directory to get it to work.
I had to do this.
- KDE 3 may not build; it's big, and I think kde-base should work but I
don't know if the other parts will. There's only one way to find out:
build it.
I installed kde-lite-3.2.1 fine but had to do some 'make installs' as
you described above,
