Description
Hi, I'm the maintainer of Gqrx.
As far as I can tell, the Gqrx port builds against Qt5. Gqrx has supported Qt6 for a couple years now, so the port could switch to Qt6 any time. No rush, since Gqrx will continue to support Qt5 for another year or two.

That would avoid installing two version of Qt, however it appears that Qt5 does not properly support recent versions of macOS. See the following issue for details: https://github.com/gqrx-sdr/gqrx/issues/1073

That should be fixed in Qt5 too since there are many scientific software still using the previous version. Have you already reported the issue to Qt here on macports? thanks

I do not use macports myself, so I don't know whether QSlider is broken in the macports version of Qt5.
probably this should use the same QT version of gnuradio.
