You are right, sorry. qtconfig's code only builds the Phonon-related
parts if Phonon is present.

I agree. I've never worked directly on the qt4-* ports, so I think it is
safe to wait for someone else who has to express his opinion here.

Do you mean an OPTION in the qt4-qtconfig port itself? If so, I'm afraid
it's not possible, as qtconfig's code still uses some qt3-compatibility
bits from qt3support.
