Ok. I was away for a bit but I've done that in the mean time. The
substance of it is this:


# We also need the distfile for qt4-libs to extract some private header files
QTVERSION=      4.8.4   # from ../../x11/qt4/Makefile.common
QTNAME=         qt-everywhere-opensource-src-${QTVERSION}
DISTFILES+=     ${QTNAME}.tar.gz
MASTER_SITES+=  http://releases.qt-project.org/qt4/source/
EXTRACT_USING=  bsdtar

...

# Get access to (some of) the Qt4 private header files (for qt_hack)
post-wrapper:
        cd ${WRKDIR}/.buildlink/qt4/include/QtGui && \
            ln -s ../../../../${QTNAME}/include/QtGui/private .
        cd ${WRKDIR}/.buildlink/qt4/include/QtCore && \
            ln -s ../../../../${QTNAME}/include/QtCore/private .


As you can see I have hardcoded the QT version number there, which I
don't like. It can be found in ../../x11/qt4/Makefile.common but that
defines a few more make variables that are not approprate here:
MAINTAINER HOMEPAGE and LICENSE for Qt itself.

Is there any place I can get the correct number from?
