In order to receive any feedback you need to provide more info about what you did and what error message you see.
Start with which FreeBSD version you are using and what steps you done to install the KDE.
Also i recommend to read the Handbook as most of the information that you need is already there.

yes ok the kde 5 was installed along with all required addons to /etc/rc.conf which i did plus /etc/fstab that is where the error is its telling me proc not found
 
/proc is not needed for plasma5, what is your problem exactly?

well i reinstalled freebsd on a different drive its ok when booting I can see colour on the screen I guess that means graphics driver is working but still cant get into kde
 
As ekvz says, why?

I freely admit I know nothing about Radeon GPUs but here's a few questions for you to satisfy:
1. Have you read and implemented all the steps to install KDE on your system, following the handbook here. Specifically section 5.7.2?
2. Have you installed the drm-kmod port from here: graphics/drm-kmod? Read here.

And finally, vague statements like "I get an error" just doesn't cut it. If you want help, put in some effort to collect information about the error.
If you want people to put effort into helping you, then reciprocate.

yes I have done all that except I didnt use ports I used pkg install could that be the problem
 
No, ports = packages, essentially, though ports might be more recent.
Please show us the contents of /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf.
Also, what is your exact problem? What is your exact graphics card?

While that is true. There are none of the config files in question so you basically ignored half of his question and the error description is still nothing more than "it tells me proc not found". Unless you are super lucky and someone recognizes that exact error from nothing but the bits and pieces you gave you will have a hard time getting any kind of useful support this way. At least i am not going to dig further. Good luck.

thanks but it is hard to show log files with no desktop

cat somefile.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us

This will upload somefile.log and give you a link to the uploaded data. Of course you could use pretty much any command instead of cat somefile.log. As long as it's output goes to stdout you can upload it (otherwise you need to add 2>&1 to the command so stderr gets redirected to stdout). Maybe that helps a bit.
 
Standard disclaimer: install the docs: pkg install {de,en}-freebsd-doc, replace de with your native tongue, and point your favorite browser to /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd.

You can add to the ALIAS section of /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf message: "query '[%C/%n] %M'",, read through all pkg message|less and apply the requested settings.
