KDE with fam is broken, according to 
http://wiki.freebsd.org/KDE4

A work-around is to change the PollInterval in kdedrc
baby-jane:~$ less .kde4/share/config/kdedrc
[$Version]
update_info=kded.upd:kde3.0

[DirWatch]
PollInterval=60000

(IMHO, for KDE issues you should ask on the kde-free...@kde.org mailing
list).
