That doesn't start KDE, it is just some necessary preparation. The error is
because you should not quote the command.

    sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE

Additionally, note that KDE is not a full desktop environment on OS X; it
uses Aqua as the desktop environment and only provides native applications
such as the Dolphin file manager, Konqueror, and Konsole.  Take a look in
/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4.
