You need to install KDE from the CD first.  The default installation does
not include them.

Something vaguely like this:
# mount -r -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt
# cd /mnt/somepath
# pkg_add kde2

I'm not sure what the path to the packages is on your CD set, but I am 
assuming disk 3 & 4 is where you want to look.
