Hi everybody, I´m trying to install KDE5 in my system. I´ve installed FreeBSD 11.4 STABLE with XFCE 4 unisg package. With KDE5 produce an error when I try. However, exists ports with this Shell.
Thank you.

There's a problem with FreeBSD 11.4, its OpenSSL is too old and parts of KDE don't like this (they fail to build). If you want KDE you're going to need to upgrade to FreeBSD 12. Or build it from ports and set DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=openssl.
 
I have seen this as well.

The pkg install for kde5 is no longer available.

There is a failure in kf5-purpose and kf5-kdnssd in the make step. So, I just used the pkg install of it instead.
This can be used as a strategy for any failed component of the make step.

Note: I used -DBATCH because the number of options is just too numerous and you could be running this for days
if you do not use this. -DBATCH tells make to take all the defaults.

Do this as root.

Code: 
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde5

pkg install -y kf5-purpose
pkg install -y kf5-kdnssd

make -DBATCH install clean

This takes a VERY LONG time to compile. It will give you an appreciation of how big KDE is in terms of complexity.
However IMHO, KDE5 Plasma is my favorite desktop manager to use.
