New description:

 Mac OS X 10.6

 I excuted:
 {{{
 sudo port selfupdate
 sudo port upgrade outdated
 }}}

 The last for lines:
 {{{
  Cleaning py27-pygtksourceview
 --->  qt4-mac-devel is replaced by qt4-mac
 --->  Computing dependencies for qt4-mac
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: Can't install qt4-mac because conflicting
 ports are installed: qt4-mac-devel
 }}}

Comment:

 That is correct. You can either install qt4-mac (if you want the latest
 stable version) or qt4-mac-devel (if you want a less-well-tested
 development version); you cannot install both. That is what the naming
 convention of using the suffix "-devel" in a port name means.
