Comment (by michaelld@…):

 This is true from a certain perspective: qt4 installs into ${prefix} and
 qt5 into ${prefix}/libexec/qt5-mac. That said, there will be projects
 which try to auto-detect the Qt install, looking for ${prefix}/bin/qmake
 and using it if found -- no matter the user's settings otherwise (e.g.,
 QMAKE=${prefix}/libexec/qt5-mac/bin/qmake). So, we're better off just
 moving Qt4 to be in ${prefix}/libexec/qt4-mac (or something like it). I'm
 well on my way down that path, and expect to have it done sometime next
 week. Thus, while we -could- change both ports so that they don't conflict
 -right now-, I'd be just as happy to wait until my "big commit" is in
 place & qt4 is moved to its own space. I expect there will be plenty of
 issues with the "big commit", no matter how hard I try to make it
 otherwise. I also expect we'll have issues with removing the conflict ...
 so, why not just wait until there really is no conflict?
