upgrading kde4 to 4.8.4

Hi there:

I had been running FreeBSD 9.0 with KDE 4.73 as my primary web platform. When FreeBSD 9.1 came out I did an upgrade which went fine, but I am left with KDE 4.73. After making sure that all ports were up to date, I went to /usr/ports/x11/kde4 and tried a
# make install

It bombs out on /usr/ports/devel/qscintilla2 with a moc error referring to qt4. Is there something I can do to continue with the upgrade? I tried a pkg_add -r but did not find an installable package.

Thank you

Alan
 
The version of FreeBSD has nothing to do with this, all versions of FreeBSD use the same ports tree.

Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING before updating anything. I couldn't find anything relevant for KDE so the usual solution is to update your ports tree with portsnap(8), install ports-mgmt/portmaster and do:
# portmaster x11/kde4
 
Thank you for your help. I also did not find any additional information from the UPDATING file. I had checked it. All ports were updated using portsnap. I'll try to install and use portmaster.
