Ok, this fails earlier than i expected... :-)

Well the culprit is already pointed out in the PR: On Linux dynamically loaded 
libraries (say plugins) need to be linked against the dl library, thus the 
patch there adds "-ldl" to the linker flags. On BSD the dl library is part of 
the libc, so the flag is not needed.

The question as to why this has not been fixed yet should probably be 
addressed to the maintainer (adam) and pkgsrc lists. According to pkgsrc guide 
a "LIBS.Linux += -ldl" in one of the qt4 Makefiles would be the correct 
solution (http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/fixes.html#undefined-reference).
I will look further into this tomorrow.
