I don't have anything to do with the taglib ports so I'm not the one  
to ask about this. Orville Bennett added the taglib-devel port, and is  
also responsible for the kde4 portgroup it uses, which is where the  
qt4-mac dependency comes from.

Ryan Stonecipher-Fisher changed taglib in r59203 9 days ago to use the  
cmake portgroup instead of the kde4 portgroup "to remove superfluous  
dependencies". Perhaps the same change should be made to taglib-devel.
