I'm running FreeBSD, but I'm not too familiar with kdm. You could ask on the
kde@xxxxxxxxxxx list, where someone will probably have the answer. That
said, here are some guesses...

Since kdm is started by /etc/ttys, you might just be able to "killall kdm",
and it'll get restarted.

If you want that to be the default behaviour, just remove kdm from /etc/ttys
(check freebsd.kde.org and the FreeBSD Handbook for exact syntax of that
file). If you only want to do that sometimes, I guess just hitting
Ctrl+Alt+Fn, where 1 <= n <= 8 would be easiest.
