 As it stands now, qt4-mac and qt4-x11 can not both be installed.

 As far as I can tell, there is a conflict because of:
  1. Same binary names in ${prefix}/bin
  1. Same pkg-config files names in ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig
  1. Same library file names in ${prefix}/lib (only if the noframework
 variant is used).

 Two possible fixes are:
   * Install each package in ${prefix}/lib/${portname}, then create some
 sort of qt4-select port to create the appropriate links in ${prefix}/bin
 and ${prefix}/lib
   * Append -x11 or -mac to the offending files in ${prefix}/bin,
 ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig, and ${prefix}/lib

 In either case, the ports which depend on qt4-{mac,x11} would have to be
 changed.

 Any there any other possibilities?
