 The dependency is actually python27. I've filed a bug report for this:
 #56458.

 Will take its time, I'll update later with the result.

 That is not a good idea. Although llvm-gcc-4.2 is meant to be very
 compatible with gcc-4.2, in some cases it isn't. For example, python33 and
 later can build with gcc-4.2 but not with llvm-gcc-4.2.

 Ports should be UsingTheRightCompiler. This report shows that py27-pyqt4
 isn't. The problem might be in the python 1.0 portgroup, in which case the
 problem should be fixed there so that all python modules can benefit.
