	This is the specific issue:

===>>> Starting build for devel/qt4-corelib <<<===

===>>> All dependencies are up to date

===>  Cleaning for qt4-corelib-4.8.4_2
======================================================================

Qt 4 can be built with optional support for:
 - Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) (enabled by default)
 - Network Audio System (NAS)
 - Qt style that renders using GTK (QGTKSTYLE)

In order to enable them, you have to add
	QT4_OPTIONS=	CUPS NAS QGTKSTYLE
to your /etc/make.conf and compile devel/qt4-corelib and
x11-toolkits/qt4-gui ports.

Attention! Whenever you change the QT4_OPTIONS both
devel/qt4-corelib and x11-toolkits/qt4-gui ports must be rebuilt!

======================================================================
===>   qt4-corelib-4.8.4_2 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
===> Fetching all distfiles required by qt4-corelib-4.8.4_2 for building

===>  qt4-corelib-4.8.4_2 conflicts with installed package(s): 
      qt-copy-3.3.8_14

      They will not build together.
      Please remove them first with pkg delete.
*** [check-build-conflicts] Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/qt4-corelib.


	Does this help?
