I think that's what I thought you said. Mine works against qt3-3.3.7,  
so I don't know if your problem arose via different behaviors on  
Intel vs. PPC Macs.

Both by default modify your path to include their base directory  
first in your path. Whichever you installed first (fink or macports)  
has some risk of finding software compiled by the other when trying  
to build new things. This isn't always a problem, but when you do run  
into problems, the troubleshooting process can get extremely  
aggravating.

You might have tied some knots in your installations, but as long as  
things run, you haven't blown them up.
