For the record, that's not how it is on my system. On my system it appears to be made properly:

$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libphonon.4.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libphonon.4.dylib:
	/opt/local/lib/libphonon.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.4.0, current version 4.4.2)
	/opt/local/lib/libQtDBus.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.7.0, current version 4.7.3)
	/opt/local/lib/libQtXml.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.7.0, current version 4.7.3)
	/opt/local/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.7.0, current version 4.7.3)
	/opt/local/lib/libQtCore.4.dylib (compatibility version 4.7.0, current version 4.7.3)
	/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.9.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.10)

install_name_tool is really a last resort kind of thing. You should be able to specify the library's install_name at link time (with the -install_name parameter), and indeed on my system that's presumably already happening; not sure why it's not on yours but perhaps a main.log file from the phonon installation would be illuminating.
