For some reason qt4 package on amd64 does not install qmake. (I might need a tools package or something, but i don't remember doing that on the 386 machine) anyway, I removed Qt4 packages and built from src / ports tree. 

make in /usr/ports/devel/qt4 fails with 'ld cannot find -lQtDbus' - looks like it's in the webkit build section when it fails. 

to get it going, make install in /usr/ports/devel/dbus-qt4/ (or /usr/ports/devel/qt4-qdbusviewer/) then return to /usr/ports/devel/qt4 and make will continue... 
for some reason it's not catching the dependency... might be an issue to check out (?)

Thanks,
