That would probably be the safer route, yes.

The principle is easy enough and is illustrated in my qt4 (and probably also the qt5) PortGroup which were written to work with both the exclusive and the concurrent Qt installation layouts.
So getting it right shouldn't be too hard in itself; I'm more concerned with longer term maintenance. It might be good enough though if only the qt5-kde PortGroup has support for the different path: style dependencies that required to depend on either qt5-mac or qt5-kde.
