Am I right in assuming this causes portage to build with preference  
of qt3 over qt4?

"build with qt4 only if qt3 is not an option for this package"?

I think building from the ebuild would be quite different from SVN -  
presumably the ebuild (and this is perhaps a function taken care of  
by portage itself, rather than the ebuild) would pass --build-with- 
qt3 and --dont-use-qt4 options to the `configure` stage of  
compilation. I'd imagine that one would have to set such options  
manually if manually undertaking `cd /path/to/source && .configure &&  
make && make install` (which is what I understand by "I build from  
SVN").

You should take these comments with a pinch of salt, as I've never  
installed Myth. Yes, I am am on the right list - my MythTV system is  
in the pre-production stage.

Stroller.
