Comment:

 The vtk5 port has a variant called "qt4_mac". It adds a dependency on the
 port named "qt4-mac". This is fine and not a problem.

 The variant cannot be named "qt4-mac" because the "-" symbol is not
 allowed in variant names because MacPorts uses that symbol to indicate the
 desire to disable a variant (just as the symbol "+" is used to indicate
 the desire to enable a variant).

 There is no bug here. Install vtk5 with its +qt4_mac variant if you want
 to do whatever it is you were doing that caused that error message to
 appear.
