Thanks for the answer.

But did you really mean /Library/Frameworks? Or 
${prefix}/Library/Frameworks? Currently qt4-mac installs the frameworks 
(probably quite unfortunately) into ${prefix}/lib.

To find out which variant is installed, I'm using now "file isdirectory 
${prefix}/lib/QtCore.framework" in my Portfile. Seems to work...
