Comment(by lassi.tuura@…):

 LProf is a Qt application, so I assume qt4-mac is required.  Or did I
 misunderstand your comment about the dependency?

 Regarding self-update/upgrade -- no thanks, not right now :-)  I did
 attempt a global upgrade about month and a half ago, and ended up in
 extended nightmare which eventually reduced to rm -fr /opt/local and
 reinstalling absolutely everything.  As the system runs several macports
 servers I depend on for daily work, I am highly reluctant to attempt this
 difficult an upgrade much more than about once a year.  (One feature of
 the previous upgrade was that it attempted to rebuild commonly used
 libraries, such as libintl, for _every single port that needed them._
 Basically the reinstallation grew exponentially in time as it progressed
 up the tree.  But to be honest I am not sure if it made any progress at
 all, it just seemed to run compilations in a near-infinite loop.  Plus
 (re)building packages such as tetex or qt is just painful.)
