I too am seeing,

I wish there was some explanation. Or reference to a ticket.
Also checked for guidance in the text of, "port info qt6".
In my case, I am using macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 on Intel.
Inspired by another message on this thread, I checked the Portfile. While I did find one, "known_fail yes", the messages (about SQL) don't get printed.
So... I did "y" to install anyway. In my case, the build finished without error. I suppose if qt6 is going to fail, maybe that will happen at runtime.
