 The traditional applications such as kate, etc that are a part of the
 traditional source are not installed in any location available on the
 command line but rather are only available as commands listed in
 /Applications/MacPorts/KDE.

 While I think listing them in that location is good so that they can be
 found using traditional "Mac" methods not having the commands that come
 with the package is confusing to users familiar with the application on
 other systems.  In the more serious case things such as making
 EDITOR="kate -b" doesn't work on a mac as it would on other unix systems
 with KDE installed.
