IF DesktopBSD hasn't removed it, KDE's K-Menu should also has the ability to run Konqueror (the file manager / web browser in KDE3) as "in Super User Mode", if not you can always create an icon on the desktop that executes
kdesu konqueror
(for security you might wish to write the file paths to the programs)
You are probably running KDE 3.5.x.
Most KDE apps (such as kedit) will tell you their version, KDEs version, and Qts version when called on the command line as 'appname --version', some apps do so in the about KDE dialog !, pkg_info has a list, and so on, KDE's control center also tells you it's version.
Using konqueror as root while logged into the desktop as your normal user is probably the best way to manage the system if you don't want to use the terminal.
There is an app called gksudo as well as a kdesudo that use sudo instead of su, in the way that kdesu does -> but kdesu is what comes with KDE.
