Right now one can only edit the port makefile to > remove the dependency. With my qt145/kdelibs11 maintainer hat on, I'd just like to point out that GL is used in Qt for the QtGL extensions. However, it does seem that most programs don't use GL, so perhaps you could conjure a patch to the Qt port to allow command-line disabling of GL. The QtGL extensions aren't absolutely necessary, but in the package I'd like to support as much as possible. Which is why I haven't gotten around to making GL support an option in the port.
