kde-lite is nothing more than a metaport that installs other KDE ports. It is not a watered down or lightweight version of KDE.

My favorite way to install KDE is to forget about the metaports and go directly for the main ports themselves.

First make sure your ports tree is up-to-date.
Then update the ports you already have installed so that the KDE ports have up-to-date dependencies.
Then install x11/kdelibs3
Then install x11/kdebase3

After kdebase is installed, you will at least have a basic KDE desktop up and running. Then you can install whatever other KDE ports you want at your leisure. Hasn't failed me yet.
