Comment (by ryandesign):

 Marcus, I don't understand your comment at all. I thought the whole idea
 was that ports that want to use qt5 should include the qt5 portgroup, and
 the portgroup will pick the right version of qt5 to use for the user's OS
 version. On 10.6 and earlier, the qt5 portgroup currently picks a version
 of qt5 that is not compatible with the OS version. How can that possibly
 be considered to be correct/desirable/useful to anyone? Or are you saying
 that there is no version of qt5 that will work on 10.6 or earlier? I see
 that the comments say that is the case for 10.5 and earlier, but for 10.6
 it suggests that 5.0-5.3 might work. Why doesn't the portgroup pick one of
 those versions for 10.6?
