Upgrading from 3.5.10 to 4.2

Is there a preferred way of upgrading to KDE4 in FreeBSD? The last time I tried it, I did:
cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4
make install distclean

My installation of KDE3.5 was done via "pkg_add -r kde" and I ended up with a bunch of KDE3.5 system apps once KDE4 was installed (kcontrol, for example).

My current installation of 3.5.10 was done via portupgrade.
Should I completely remove KDE3.5 before installing KDE4? If so what's the best way? I'm guessing that pkg_deinstall "/var/db/pkg/kde*" will leave a lot of orphans.

What's the best way of handling this?

Thanks! :D

If you decided to definitely go and use only KDE4 then just remove kde-3.5.10 with pkg_delete and then install KDE4, either from ports or tbz packages. I would suggest you installed KDE4, use it for some time, and if you really like then remove KDE3.
