[kde-freebsd] Qt4 ports

So far Qt4 from area51 ports seems fine. Pending some decisions on final 
port naming/splitup/etc, I would say it's ready to go. Going down the 
list of notes on the wiki:

* I don't think the qtdemo port should be the master port to pull 
everything in with. Qt4 should fill that roll. Perhaps it can have an 
option to pull in qtdemo.

* qtdemo is working well for me. See my earlier email on not building 
webkit or phonon examples. Building the examples by hand, browser and 
mediaplayer are working as expected.

* designer didn't segfault on me, though I think I might have caught it 
rebuilding some built libraries. I would have to rebuild to verify.

* qdbusviewer correctly showing system and session channels.

* Regarding qtconcurrent tools, I didn't even know they existing until I 
saw this mention of them. They are not referenced in tools.pro, so I 
would assume they're safe to ignore.

* Regarding translations. You could make them a separate port, but it 
might more sense to install the appropriate translation sets with the 
various parts of Qt (qt_xx with core, assistant_xx with assistant, etc).

Finally, some notes on some other stuff I have built:

* Strigiclient is indexing and akode is playing music.

* We need a QCA2 port. trunk/kdesupport says "Please install the 
qca2.0.0 package from your distribution or build from source if you want 
to use qca with KDE trunk."

* Soprano and qimageblitz built, but unable to test at this time.

p.s. This is all on 7.0-RELEASE, with no KDE3 around.
