KDE instructions

[Nicolas Pavillon]

Great, I did not know that there was this automated monitoring. Handy. 

I created a page (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/KDE) with the information I thought relevant for now, and added its link to the main wiki page. 
As I do not consider myself a KDE expert neither a Macports one, some parts may be incomplete or inaccurate. Please feel free to edit/correct them. I will also expand the ports list in order to try to have something describing the maze of KDE ports.

I indeed do not hope that users will fall on this page directly, but it could be handy to have it to redirect questions, instead of repeating the same answers several times, or receive complaints because the information was not out there.

Cheers, 

Nicolas
