Works! This addresses the modern/featureful citation manager discussion 
that some of us have had over the past week in this misc@ thread:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=168057137820221&w=2

Excellent, Mr. Sadowski. Thank you for the great service that you 
consistently do for us OpenBSD desktop users.

For posterity --

I. Getting Started

- KBibTeX is scantly internally documented (e.g. only a placeholder man 
page), so the KBibTeX Handbook is the source of truth: 
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kbibtex/kbibtex/kbibtex.pdf

- Per that Handbook (4.1.4), it is helpful to install bibtex2html 
(pkg_add bibtex2html) to improve KBibTeX's overall previewing features. 
This is so trivial, and such a QoL improvement, that after print/kbibtex 
has been accepted to the Ports Tree, everyone probably should install 
KBibTeX with "pkg_add kbibtex bibtex2html"

II. Zotero Problem
The only key feature that I cannot get working by default is the Zotero 
Panel. "Get credentials" works to the point of actually clicking "Save 
Key" inside the Web browser (tested in Firefox, Chromium, and Netsurf), 
but then it fails with "unable to establish a connection to the server 
at 127.0.0.1". I intend to investigate further by communicating with 
KBibTeX's authors, but this *seems* to be because Zotero is not 
installed (a chicken and egg situation, per the above misc@ thread).
