I see this reported here (with no response):

http://lists.trolltech.com/pipermail/qt4-preview-feedback/2008-August/000034.html

And here (response says the problem is caused by mysql's plugin.h and suggests that the include can be removed from webkit somewhere to fix it):

Really, qt4-x11 is woefully out of date and should be updated. Not sure if that will fix it but there's a ticket for the update request:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20986

It's still possible all the issues affecting qt4-mac right now will also affect qt4-x11. See the issue tracker if you're interested.
