eh? tar.gz attachments are the preferred format for new ports.

No it isn't.

"Submit the port. Create a gzipped tarball of the port directory. You
can then either place it on a public HTTP server, sending its URL to
ports@openbsd.org, or send the port MIME encoded to the same address."

Either of those are ok for new ports (though as a mail attachment is
preferred).

Unified diffs (cvs diff -u, or git/got diff) are preferred for updates
but, for new ports, tars are much less hassle.

You'll need some patience, the subset of porters interested in KDE is
