Remove PORTREVISION, it is not neccesary at moment

If this port will use qt3, you must to add the line USE_QT_VER=     3

Set QTDIR to ${QT_PREFIX}, It is a defined variable at bsd.kde.mk file

> INCPATH= -I/usr/local/include

INCPATH could not be necessary, you could use CPPFLAGS instead of that

> CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-t1-library="/usr/local/lib" \
>                 --with-t1-includes="/usr/local/include"

Replace /usr/local by ${LOCALBASE}

you could define MAKE_ENV variable, it could solve some incpath
problems on build time

MAKE_ENV+=      CPPFLAGS="${CPPFLAGS}" LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}"

See ijliao@ mail about that :)
