I found desktop-installer very useful to quickly and easily install the desktop of choice on a clean base installation. More information here:

Why 11.1? 11.2 was released some time ago and 11.1 will soon be EOL.Just installed FreeBSD 11.1 on my main computer now, everything is working fine. Running KDE Plasma 5, so far so great. Managed to get outboard USB soundcard to work as well
Im enjoying it, no problems
freebsd-update
It's stable enough, not perfect though. There's no need to compile it from source, it's already available through pkg.Is KDE Plasma 5 considered stable enough for everyday use now or is this one you compiled from source? I’m very interested in this. I like wobbly windows and things but I want to theme it like Ubuntu’s Unity. Thanks.
