I am new to FreeBSD. I have installed FreeBSD 10. I want to install KDE and X11 from FreeBSD DVD. I found that there are KDE and Gnome packages on the DVD but is there a way to install them?

Yes, just mount the disk, cd(1) to the directory and use pkg-add(8) to install them.

I have managed to mount the DVD. but if I run pkg add x11 it returns
Code: 
package manager not installed

Oh, right. Forgot about that. pkg(8) requires pkg(8) to be installed. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem.

Code: 
# tar -C /tmp -zxvf pkg-X.Y.Z.txz
# /tmp/usr/local/sbin/pkg-static pkg-X.Y.Z.txz
(replace X.Y.Z with whatever version you found on the DVD)

After that pkg(8) should work and you should be able to pkg-add(8) things normally.
 
Re: installing kde and x11

I have tried this command it worked out for the first time but after rebooting my PC it is back to square one.
Now when I do
#tar -C /tmp -zvxf pkg-1.2.4_1.txz I get the error
Code: 
Error exit delayed from previous errors
