It builds fine for me. There are actually 3 known ports that conflict with the qt4-mac build process: kdelibs3, kdelibs4, and libevent. Could you verify that you have tried building qt4-mac with all of those deactivated? Of course you need to clean qt4-mac before attempting to build after the failure, but you know that. 

Also, are you trying to build universal? That might be a problem too. 

What is the error that you see? 

The error that Jürgen saw I have seen too. I fixed it by temporarily deactivating kdelibs3 and kdelibs4.
