Sounds like this ticket:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20199

That ticket describes two qt4-mac conflicts, one with libevent which has been resolved, and another which hasn't. The notes say it's a conflict with kdelibs4, but even after deactivating kdelibs4 I was unable to build qt4-mac, so I don't think that's the port causing the conflict.

There are also many other bugs reported against qt4-mac in our issue tracker, and it doesn't build for me on my systems either. If you can help figure out why that is and what we can do about it, it would be appreciated.
