Bruno,

the SDK would be needed if you were going to build X11 binaries that  
use the Qt toolkit. If you intend to build "native" Mac OS X  
applications with Qt, then you'll use Mac OS X Frameworks – if Nokia  
uses the term "framework" with the same meaning as Apple with  
"Framework". Presumingly, for Nokia it's just a set of shared  
libraries that X11 Qt clients need to run on a computer that is not  
the same as where they were built. So I think you'd need to compile  
and install the complete SDKs – and build static very fat universal  
binaries (for 64-bit support as well). Otherwise every user would need  
to install a Qt "framework".

When building the Qt SDKs you'd need to configure them as "mac".  
Presumingly these MacPorts packages do this as well:

	qt4-mac                        @4.7.1          aqua/qt4-mac
	(qt4-mac-devel                  @4.7.0-beta2    aqua/qt4-mac-devel)

With the next package

	qt4_select                     @0.3            sysutils/qt4_select

you can have the other qt4 package installed too and make either the  
Mac or the X11 variant available for software compilation:

	qt4-x11                        @4.4.3          x11/qt4-x11

Presumingly...

They're putting dimes in the hole in my head to see the change in me.
