I get this error while installing kde5. any thoughts on how to move forward ?

Code: 
pkg: plasma6-layer-shell-qt-6.1.2 conflicts with plasma5-layer-shell-qt-5.27.11 (installs files into the same place).  Problematic fi
le: /usr/local/include/LayerShellQt/Shell

No way to install KDE5 without deinstalling something already in your computer.

As the error message says, there are conflicting packages (plasma[5|6]-layer-shell-qt-[5.27.11|6.1.2]), and unfortunately, the conflict is mutual and unavoidable (the upstream KDE project seems to intend to be as such, no support for multiple versions of KDE on single computer at the same time).

You need to decide that
  1. preferring KDE5, allowing anything in your computer to be deinstalled,
  2. preferring existing environment, stop trying to install KDE5
For the option 2, you have another choice. Installing KDE6 instead of KDE5.
But KDE6 on FreeBSD does NOT YET have everything KDE5 already has.

If you prefer option 1, check for which packages are depending upon plasma6-layer-shell-qt-6.1.2 recursively and deinstall all of them.

You can run
pkg query %rn plasma6-layer-shell-qt-6.1.2
to determine which packages depends DIRECTLY upon it. Then, recursively run the alike for found packages until nothing more appears.

If you don't mind installing some more ports, you can try ports-mgmt/pkg_tree. It can show dependencies tree both forward and backward.
 
thanks when i tried that command I don't get anything wierd. I am having performance issues with xorg (i think) so trying plasma so kde6 isn't an option yet.
