Because qt4 ports fail to build in the presence of qt3.

CONFLICTS_BUILD doesn't prevent you from having both packages installed,
it only means that you can't build the port if packages from CONFLICTS_BUILD
are already installed.

Unlike CONFLICTS (or CONFLICTS_INSTALL), CONFLICTS_BUILD is not mutual.

QT_DIST means that the ports is a part of Qt4 distribution.
