That's a bug. But we would need more of the build log to say anything about 
it. Are you building attica on its own, or as a dependency of something else?

Note, though, that the plasma5/ branch is *usually* stable, but not always; 
and the instructions are out of date.

What exactly were you expecting then? kde4 (the port or package) is a metaport 
that pulls in *everything* from KDE, e.g. also all the KDE4 applications. If 
you want a more pared-down setup, install only KDE ports that you want. For a 
basic desktop (e.g. the Plasma4 desktop) with no applications, install kde-
workspace (KDE Plasma Desktop).

Well, yeah, VirtualBox in pkg is built against Qt5. That (Qt5) is co-
installable with Qt4 from pkg. But this isn't a KDE-thing, is it.

FWIW, my desktop is KDE4 from pkg, with VirtualBox (+qt5) from pkg as well, 
works fine. Admittedly, it wasn't installed this month. So your experience is 
not universal -- again, we'd need more details to say anything useful.

Building ports on top of things from pkg shouldn't be a problem.
