The ports system works by the
Makefile directing the downloading of source from the original project's authoritative servers. If the build hangs because it is unable to download their source, this is not under the OpenBSD project's control, & any of us would then be at the mercy of whatever redundancy
(& availability) external projects have in place. Some are more redundant & resilient than others.
A quick search on the
ports@ mailing list didn't reveal any prior discussion on anyone else having problems with downloading portions of QT4. I, however, have had similar issues with other ports. Usually it takes awhile
(a week or so...) for things to reach normalcy again.

I have a hunch that qt4 might need java to compile, which is what I'm spending my day doing right now.

There is no reason to guess. Two
Makefile targets,
print-build-depends &
print-run-depends will state the
exact build & runtime dependencies. Go to the appropriate directory in the ports tree & run both:
Code:
$ cd /usr/ports/x11/qt4
$ sudo make print-build-depends
...
$ sudo make print-run-depends
...
$
For more information, study the
ports(7) manpage.
Also be aware that JDK 1.7 is available as a package. Older versions will
always require local building due to licensing issues. For more information, see
Section 8.3 of the FAQ.
