This looks a lot like (though slightly different from):

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23282

It was our understanding that this problem was caused by having libevent installed and active while trying to build qt4-mac. Therefore, qt4-mac was marked as conflicting with libevent, which should cause MacPorts to print an error message preventing you from installing qt4-mac until you have first deactivated or uninstalled libevent.

Do you have libevent installed by MacPorts, or perhaps by some other means? If not, we have to reevaluate our earlier conclusion.
