I suspect the problem is when a user has KDE with qt3-mt dependency,
and perhaps a single application which either doesn't support threading
and depends on qt3 or even qt2. Then you have both installed.
If your configure program picks up moc2 or qt-config finds qt2 first,
than you build LyX with inferior version of Qt, just because some old
Qt2 application is lurking around your desktop.
The ports infrastructure ensures that you get what you want.
You ask for -mt explicitly with MODQT_MT=Yes, you get environment
filled properly, you pass it to the building process.
The application gets built with the most suitable version of Qt.
(Similar stands for Gtk applications and Gtk-1.x and Gtk-2.x)
You as a port builder control your port through the environment
variables used in the build process.
The end user then simply does:
cd /usr/ports/print/lyx
sudo make install
and goes to sleep while all the dependencies (teTeX, Qt, ispell, ...) and
LyX build.
Or (s)he simply installs the prebuilt packages. :-)

I absolutely agree. Because they may decide tomorrow that it should be
called only moc-mt or moc4-mt. :-)
