I've had some trouble upgrading qt on two different machines now. I'm using 
the experimental Xorg git ports tree on both and I'm not sure if that's a 
factor, which is why I'm CC-ing x11@.

In short, qt will install happily the first time but not the second. It looks 
to my untrained eye like building [an upgraded] qt when qt is already 
installed somehow taints the build. The build will complete successfully, but 
it will fail during the install step whether or not the old qt was 
uninstalled between the make and install steps--I tried an install without 
uninstalling the old one using FORCE_PKG_REGISTER and it failed differently, 
but it still failed. However, if qt and qmake are removed completely before 
starting the [new] build for qt, it will install just fine.

I'd like to determine if 1) this is a known problem and 2) this is specific to 
the Xorg ports tree so I know whether or not to send in a PR.

Thanks!

JN
