Well, for me it was easy: arts was the only thing depending on qt3.
Several ports had arts turned on in their options. What I did is
equivalent to this

sudo portmaster --force-config  `pkg_info -qo \`pkg_info -Rq arts-1.5.10_7,1\``
, pkg_deleting arts before entering the password, and making sure arts
is removed from all the configs. Now, no more arts, and no more qt3!
Now I think of it, the second pkg_info to get the origins was
superflouous, but, hey, it worked. But just
sudo portmaster --force-config  `pkg_info -Rq arts-1.5.10_7,1`
should have worked.
