Lots of good progress this evening.
I updated qt3 to 3.2.3 in my exp tree, it's looking pretty good. Didn't have to do much, just a few modifications. I fixed the $(QTDIR) thing in libqt-mt.la that causes errors like this:
../../libtool: line 1: QTDIR: command not found
../../libtool: line 1: QTDIR: command not found
ld: warning -L: directory name (/lib) does not exist
ld: warning -L: directory name (/lib) does not exist
I also made it so that binaries in qt (moc, qmake, etc.) were built with -mdynamic-no-pic, which should speed them up a little. Doesn't help libqt, but what they hey, every little bit helps.
Also, thanks to Torrey, I got a working XFree86 snapshot for Panther. If you're brave, and willing to test it out, grab the xfree86.info and xfree86.patch file from here, and put them in your /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo directory (create it if it doesn't exist). You should be able to do a "fink install xfree86" then, and get 4.3.99.15.
Be warned, if you build anything against this, there's no going back to Apple's X11, a number of libraries have changed. I'd appreciate some testers though, if you're willing to give it a shot.

Just the other day I discovered NetBSD’s binary kit for Panther. It was a major pain in the a$$ to set it up and I finally gave up. Have you tried it?
You mean running OSX binaries on netbsd? No, I’ve not tried it, as I don’t use netbsd. 😉
No, it’s their packaging system just portage for Gentoo. Supposedly you can compile KDE 3.1.4, GNOME 2.4, etc. if you set it up correctly. I just didn’t have the patience but I’ll probably try it again some time. Here’s the link:http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html#platforms
