Yes, apparently the last update to the Q port in MacPorts was 3 years  
ago. The maintainer seems to have disappeared. So I'll take it over  
and can hopefully keep it better maintained from now on.

I'll keep them for now. In the portfiles we like to be a bit more  
explicit about dependencies, and not let configure pick up whatever  
it finds. The idea is that Q (and other ports) should build  
identically on every user's system, regardless of what other ports  
they might already have installed which Q might otherwise optionally  
make use of.

Super! It builds just fine now. Vielen Dank!
