I have nothing to say related to changes to in KDE packaging, but as for BSD projects collaborating on a DE that has a snows chance in hell.
The BSD projects ship an implementation of X, since the beginning X has never defined how a user interface should look.. there is no default toolkit, no window decorations, and no UI widgets.
Once you install the operating system you can customize your environment however you want, perhaps some may choose a desktop environment.. but ultimately I believe that isn't what the large majority of BSD users want.
As for your comment about drivers, OpenBSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD include the many portable DDX drivers shipped by the Xorg project.. including support for Intel, ATI and some basic support for early nVidia chipsets, additional drivers are also available for less common devices along with a 'vesa' driver to fall back on.
