The cleanest approach I can think of (taking Qt5 as an example) would rename qt5-1.0.tcl to qt5-mac-1.0.tcl and then rewrite qt5-1.0.tcl as follows:

I have no idea what this fingerprint would actually be.

Neither I know whether this would be a viable way to introduce two new port groups and put qt5 into pension.

	Would be good to get some feedback on how to handle this.

Right now I am struggling with phonon [1], since it doesn’t want to install itself with current qt5-mac on my system,
but perhaps I better open a separate thread for that topic…
