There is also this:

https://packages.macports.org/

which will show you which prebuilt packages exist.

eg

https://packages.macports.org/qt4-mac/

that might help you out as well.

I’m looking for a flag that would just check if a binary is available for my particular configuration?  I’m looking for something similar to “dry run”  (-y).  I did try -y on the hopes that it would show what would try to download, but even with -v it doesn’t show that level of detail.
