 This was going to be my first suggestion.

 I understand Qt4 and Qt5 are different. But there should not be
 unnecessary differences beyond that. They might even be combined into a
 single Portfile, with subports, to ensure minimal drift. You need only
 diff the two portfiles against each other to see how many unnecessary
 differences currently exist.
