Most KDE 4 apps work quite well in Mac OS X using Macports.  The underlying
Qt 4 library is qt4-mac and it uses native Mac window and widget styles.  KMail
could be a problem.  It is now bound up with other KDE personal information
apps, Akonadi and an SQL server.  You cannot get it as stand-alone.  I have
asked about that on the kde-devel list.  So I ended up using Mac OS X's Mail app.

Installing the whole KMail, Kontact, Akonadi, etc. suite on Mac OS X and getting
it to work is quite an effort and I have not heard of anybody succeeding with it.

I also suggest you install KDE stuff in easy stages at first because there are
loads of dependencies: first qt4-mac, then kdelibs4 and finally your choice
of KDE app(s) --- and keep an eye out for the notes on the post-installation work
you need to do.  If you missed them, you can run "port notes" to see them again.
