As I understand it, the update script for the X11R7 import will forcibly 
update all ports with a dependency on X. Qmake technically doesn't depend on 
the X libraries, but it does generate the initial configuration for Qt, which 
does depend on the X libs, thus it needs to be rebuilt, but isn't 
automatically caught by the script.

You can look at it that way, but the real flaw is in qmake/Qt then - the 
mkspecs definitions are really a lame shortcut Trolltech took instead of 
writing proper configure scripts. Hardwiring paths in there isn't even the 
worst thing they do IMHO, the hardwiring of C(XX)FLAGS causes much more 
confusion.

I think it will be done for us once the X11R7 import happens.
