So I tried installing GnuPG on a FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE system.  It doesn't
work without pinentry installed.

Okay, I can handle that.  No big deal.  Apparently GnuPG 2.x requires a
separate utility for password handling now.  No big deal.  I run
portinstall pinentry.

At this point, I notice something very, very odd: pinentry won't install
because of a problem with Qt.

Why the heck would GnuPG ultimately depend on Qt in any way?
