Shouldn't qt5 also include cmake?

Indeed. For 2 reasons:
- it declares the dependency on the Qt port in an appropriate way that allows the user to install any port that provides the required Qt version (currently, that could be qt4-mac or qt4-x11 or qt4-mac-devel for Qt4, for instance)
- it provides variables that indicate how/where Qt is installed

I think the qmake and qmake5 portgroups include the respective Qt portgroups, though (too lazy to check right now).
