Right. So you don't need to do anything special; just install qt4-mac and you'll get quartz.

The bitness of your Mac has no bearing on this discussion. I did not understand why you wrote "32 bit" in the subject line of this email. On 64-bit Macs running Snow Leopard or later, MacPorts ports will build 64-bit if possible, and with qt4-mac (as with most other ports) it is possible.

According to "port variants qt4-mac", the quartz variant "Build(s qt4-mac) for Native OSX Quartz GUI, not X11". So this variant has to do with how the GUI is displayed -- either with OSX native elements (quartz) or with X11 elements.

Cocoa is always used on OSX. Cocoa does not relate directly to the GUI.

The sqlite2 variant enables sqlite2 support. sqlite2 is very old and probably nobody needs this anymore.

The port always includes sqlite3 support; you cannot turn it off.
