qt4-mac fails to build when libevent is active

[celil.rufat@…]

Trying to upgrade to the latest version of qt4-mac, I get the following output in debug mode:

Try 'sudo port deactivate libevent' before build. You may activate it later when installation succeed.

[sharky@…]

The latests qt4-mac has been marked as conflicting with "libevent" so this issue should be fixed.

[macports@…]

I got this problem right now, when performing a "port upgrade outdated". I did a "port selfupdate" just before that. Deactivating libevent solved the issue.

[ryandesign@…]

This is because the conflicts keyword deals with conflicts at activation time, for situations like when two ports install the same files (e.g. graphviz and graphviz-devel); it does not deal with conflicts at build time, such as qt4-mac's problem building when libevent is active. MacPorts base needs a new keyword to model build-time conflicts, and to reduce confusion the existing conflicts keyword might need to be renamed as well.

I'm going to call this a duplicate of #20199.
