My guess is that Trolltech thought "people can just everything into a 
different prefix"  - unfortunately that's not quite viable in ports and with 
hier(7) in mind.

However, I haven't really gotten around to experiment on this issue. Right now 
I have ports for all parts of Qt4 together, they compile and they package 
cleanly. I was about to try and see if I can somehow install "4"-suffixed 
binaries of the tools and have qmake still work right when Trolltech released 
Qt 3.3.5, so Qt4 is on hold once again for a little while.
