Comment (by RJVB):

 If you rewrite your port to use `qt5.depends_components` you should only
 see the impact cited above, i.e. installing from source when port:qt5-kde
 is installed. Your dependencies would translate *automatically* to

 - qt5-kde (includes everything except qtwebkit)
 - qt5-kde-qtwebkit

 We don't want to risk unforeseen issues by allowing to install say
 qt5-qtwebkit against qt5-kde, so `qt5.depends_components` will introduce
 this concept of adaptive depspecs.
