It is usually easier to get patch reviews if the changes are as few as possible.
I have macports installed in a vm building qt4-mac based of René's work [1]. 
The new variants have been removed but the effect of the +concurrent variant 
has been incorporated along with the PortGroup changes to create a minimal 
patch to test concurrency.

If/when the qt4-mac build succeeds I plan to build "port echo depends:qt4-mac".

If having a non-local machine to test changes to qt4-mac would help Michael, 
René or anyone else contact me off list and we can work out access to my 
macports vm.
