It seems to work OK here.  I can start it; I'm not sure what to do with
it once it's started, but it does start consistently.

  $ pkg_which dc-qt
  dctc-gui-qt-0.0.6
  $ uname -a 
  FreeBSD sirius 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #10: Sun Oct 12 12:48:45 EDT 2003
    root at sirius:/usr/obj/opt/FreeBSD/src/src/sys/sirius  i386

This is on an SMP system.
