Missing directory in qt3?

I'm trying to port the QT3-X11 application evolvotron:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/evolvotron

There's a Fink package for it, so I thought it would be a simple  
matter to write a portfile. But I'm getting hung up by the following  
lines in the makefile for the first build target:

$(MOC):
	( cd $(QTDIR)/src/moc && $(MAKE) )

I have QTDIR set to ${prefix}/lib/qt3, but there is no directory $ 
(QTDIR)/src/moc. A similar problem was reported by an OpenBSD user on  
a Trolltech mailing list, with the following response:

Ah, OK. I thought you meant Qt 3 relies on obsolete system files. The
problem here is just that OpenBSD haven't packaged Qt correctly.

So there seems to be a problem with the qt3 port.
