The MOC build target is not moc itself, which qt3 does install and in  
the right place, but the project's own source files that are  
preprocessed with moc. Moc is some sort of macro processor; that's  
all I know about it.

This one doesn't. It does build in Fink. I would use the Fink  
version, but I don't feel like having two redundant QT's. Evolvotron  
needs the source directory of QT in order to build, and the  
developers of QT consider that behavior to be correct. By their  
standards, the MacPorts installation of QT is deficient.

I know almost nothing about QT and this was my first attempt to write  
a portfile. If anyone else wants to try, I can upload what I have.
