Probably another port you have installed is conflicting, and needs to be deactivated prior to installing qt4-mac (and needs to be added to qt4-mac's conflicts line to enforce this). I can't install qt4-mac on most of my systems either for similar reasons. Unfortunately since qt4-mac takes hours to build, testing for and finding this problem port is extremely time-consuming. If you can assist in identifying what other port is causing this problem, or confirm that another port is not the problem because it happens when installing qt4-mac into an empty MacPorts prefix, please add a note to the appropriate ticket. What OS you're on, what computer you're on, what build_arch you've set, and whether you're building universal (and what universal_archs you've set) are all good additional pieces of information to provide.

Actually the output of "port installed" should be helpful too. If we get enough people experiencing the problem to provide their list of installed ports, we should be able to cross-reference and find which ports everyone who's affected has installed.
