Okay guys, I do have another question: How can I use local patch- files? I have put them in the local files/ directory, but port still tries to fetch them:

> sudo port install

Did you specify the name of the patchfile as "files/qwtconfig.pri"? You don't need to specify the directory name; MacPorts knows it's going to be in the files directory. Also, your patchfile name should begin with "patch-" and end with ".diff", between which should be the name of the file that's being patched. So if your patch is patching a file called qwtconfig.pri, then you should call the file "patch- qwtconfig.pri.diff", put it in the "files" directory in your port's directory, and put "patchfiles patch-qwtconfig.pri.diff" in the portfile.
