well, kmymoney 1.0.5 won't ever build with QT4…
Which is why there are kmymoney4(-devel) ports… :-)

What I would suggest - if other QT3-applications are around and still in use by more MacPorts users - is that we introduce an old automoc as automoc_qt3 or so, which then could support all the old qt3 apps, which are - at the moment - all broken.
What about that?

Greets,
Marko

P.S.: Unfortunately it is impossible to know whether and which QT3-apps are actually being installed these days by MacPorts users…
