Indeed. But if we want have both in /usr/local/bin we have to add 3 or 4 to the binary names.

I think there is currently no problem with Qt 3 vs. 4. I don't think we need to change anything.
BTW, another thing we might want to pursue during the 3.5.9 upgrade is a consolidation of bsd.kde.mk. E.g.
- Remove the "CVS" bits. I think they aren't used for anything at the
moment.
- Move the QT3 stuff to bsd.qt.mk.
