-The ports contained in Macports essentially match the packages provided on [http://download.kde.org/extra/mirrors.html KDE mirrors]. Several ports end however with a "4", or start with "kde4-" in order to differentiate the ports from the ones of the older KDE version 3.

-Like most of Macports ports, KDE ones install most of the applications in ${prefix}/bin, which defaults to /opt/local/bin. However, most of the KDE end-user applications are built as Apple's bundles (double-clickable apps), which are then installed in ${applications_dir}/Macports/KDE4, which defaults to /Applications/Macports/KDE4.

-One should note that several applications save their preferences within a directory outside the Macports structure, located at ~/Library/Preferences/KDE. This implies that preferences are maintained throughout upgrades, but also that these files would not be handled by Macports upon uninstallation.
