I had mentioned the idea of making KDE3 obsolete quite some time ago 
(months) on the list, but never got to do it. I indeed started 
(independently from the imake discussion, just a coincidence) some days 
ago with the dependents ports. I going slightly slowly on this part as I 
am trying to find replacements for the few remaining kde3-based apps 
whenever possible.
The idea would be to then remove the kde3 suite after all dependents 
have been taken care of.

The biggest remaining issue is koffice. Ideally, it could be replaced by 
calligra (requested in ticket #https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37579), 
but it seems plagued with several problems at runtime making it only 
very partly usable on OS X.

Cheers,

Nicolas
