#50347: qt4-mac lacks global pkgconfig data

Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4

--------------------+--------------------------------
In tracking down why gpsd can no longer find the qt4 QtNetwork library
with pkgconfig, I think I found the problem. The qt5 Portfile has code
starting at line 1300 as follows:
{{{
# put configuration files in places they will be found automatically
}}}
However, there is no equivalent in the qt4-mac Portfile. I suspect that
this was an oversight related to moving the qt4 files into
${prefix}/libexec/qt4/ to allow parallel installations of qt4 and qt5
(r140960), and that older versions of qt4-mac were "naturally findable" by
pkg-config.
In the case of gpsd, this doesn't result in any build errors, since its
SConstruct script silently (albeit visible with -v) disables the qt option
when it can't find the QtNetwork library.
