Because qt4 ports fail to build in the presence of qt3. CONFLICTS_BUILD doesn't prevent you from having both packages installed, it only means that you can't build the port if packages from CONFLICTS_BUILD are already installed. > I've looked in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt33/Makefile: it CONFLICTS with > linguist-0.* qt-2.* qt-3.0.* qt-3.1.* qt-3.2.* qt-designer-2.* > xfmail-1.5.[0-5] xfmail-1.5.5_[1-2], but not with qt4-*.

QT_DIST means that the ports is a part of Qt4 distribution.
