kde-i18n-ko

I just installed FreeBSD with my office mate David's big helping (thanks Dave!).
The trouble started from Korean language support.
I just tried cd /usr/ports/korean;make all install but it didn't any affect kde.
(I'm choosing kde because of my laptop's slowness - toshiba portege 3440ct)
Next, I searched google.com the kde-i18n-ko since there's no this thing on the ftp.freebsd.org nor cd-rom.
Anyway, the downloading of ports of kde-i18n-ko was successful but make install on it didn't work again. My FB5 just complained the package need to be updated.
How can I update it when the main site even doesn't have it?
I've looked for it on all possible site I can guesss like ftp/www.kr.freebsd.org, i18n.kde.org but nobody has it.
Finally, I found it from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/KDE/kde-i18n and tried pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/KDE/kde-i18n
but my machine complained no "contents" file!!!
Okay, I decided to download and install the file by myself.
The *.tar.bz2 file turned out an archive of source codes.
Surely, bzcat kde-i18n-ko-3.0.5.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf - worked fine.
The next, configure; make all install didn't work without a little configure parameter.
Again, configure --prefix=/usr/local; make all install worked better since there's no /usr/local/kde directory in my FreeBSD5.3 system. Everything in /usr/local/kde/bin/* goes /usr/local/bin/*, /usr/local/kde/lib/* goes /usr/local/lib/, and so on.
After that, rest of things remained are just as simple as running desktop setting wizard and change all the locale stuff to korean.
Next mission would be hangul input thing.
Actually, ami's installed but doesn't work well now.
It's holiday season and I treat it as a nice present. ;)
