Totally Agreed. I prefer qt4-kde as I would like to test/add patches  
from kde development repo for Qt.

I hope you don't mind terribly but I added the -devel portfile to test  
out the kinks, as it were, between kde programs and qt 4.5, sooner  
rather than later.
As you can see all I did was copy the 4.4 portfile and add some  
variants, so all it really does is track the normal qt4-mac port.
