FreeBSD Robert Watson posted another bi-weekly version of the FreeBSD 5.2 open issues list, slightly restructured. At this time, there are four "show stopper defects" listed: panics when building ata-raid arrays, ATAng crashdump causes disk corruption, pipe/VM corruption on Alpha, and lingering PSE instability. There are only 5 issues left of on the "required features" list: KSE support for sparc64, KSE support for alpha, Fine-grained network stack locking without Giant, MAC framework devfs path fixes, and ACL_MASK override of umask support in UFS.

RE: Konqueror

"Konqueror most notably, and I'm having issues with KDE on 4.9, not 5.1. It works flawlessly on 5.1. I used the packages from the instalation cd."

I agree CooCooCaChoo - althought I didn't try it on 4.8, but building it from ports might be a better solution. Just be careful not to build the metaport - First kdebase, the gradually add packages you need. I have to admit that first I came to FreeBSD I planned to use packages, but the ports system seems to work so flawlessly, that now I have my entire system built from the ports collection. If you are on a dial up, you can choose to download all the distfiles (without building them) first, so you can have all the stuff you need in one session. (and the first port to build should be portupgrade ;) )
