I know, Ryan, since with 4.6.0 I was using a newer version than the one currently on MacPorts.

> install_name_tool is really a last resort kind of thing. You should be able to specify the library's install_name at link time (with the -install_name parameter), and indeed on my system that's presumably already happening; not sure why it's not on yours but perhaps a main.log file from the phonon installation would be illuminating.
In the meantime Michael helped me out with a appropriately modified Portfile which takes care of this issue.
I guess he'll soon update phonon in conjunction with qt4-mac.
