Hmm. Forgot to reply to this the first time round it seems.

AFAIK the qt-copy patches fix problems KDE has run into but they might
do so in a way unacceptable to Trolltech. The Qt folks don't like
supporting Qt patched with qt-copy patches so that's why I placed them
in their own variant. This way whenever people compile Qt4 with
macports, they'll get vanilla qt by default, but if we want can have
use KDE's qt-copy patches.

Qt 4.4.2 is out now and fixes (either using the patches providing by
qt-copy or "Trolltech's way") some issues addressed. I'll test it out
and then open up a ticket with the necessary changes.
