Yes. There are two, but the one which affects VCO4 is under the second
bentover capacitor (counted from the bottom of the circle).

There is a basic principle of search for faults: never change two things
in the same step.

So the order of steps should be:
∗ Replace IC10 (TL072)
∗ Check the portamento of voice 4
∗ If it does not work: check the fourfolded portamento potentiometer, in
case of doubt shortcut in each layer of the potentiometer the two outer
contacts
∗ Check the portamento of voice 4
∗ If it does not work: insert a cable into the portamento socket (this
switches the 4066).
∗ Check the portamento of voice 4

You don't need KLM398, but only KLM354. I described the tuning procedure
in detail at http://fa.utfs.org/diy/korg_monopoly/vco_adjustment.html
I would NOT do the full procedure, but simply try to change the offset
with VR402

the most left light green marking at the bottom named with "tune offset"
