>Description:
The new x11-toolkits/qt30 port does not follow the standard described in hier(7). Specifically, documentation is installed to /usr/X11R6/doc/html, qmake specs installed to /usr/X11R6/mkspecs, plugins to /usr/X11R6/plugins, and ui templates to /usr/X11R6/templates.

hier(7) specifies that architecture independent files in /usr/X11R6 be installed under /usr/X11R6/share. There is also the strong implication that documentation should be installed under /usr/X11R6/share/doc/<port>.

The Qt library appears to be designed for installing everything in a single directory (suggested in their INSTALL is /usr/local/qt). Reconciling the "standard" Qt directory structure with hier(7) is no trivial matter. Dumping everything into PREFIX does not do it, which is what this port appears to be doing.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the x11-toolkits/qt30 port.
>Fix:
As a suggestion only, install documentation to ${PREFIX}/share/doc/qt30, and mkspecs, plugins and templates to ${PREFIX}/share/qt30. If hier must be broken to get this port to function, then perhaps it should be installed to ${PREFIX}/qt30 instead.
