New description:

 It seems the port overrides Xcode-select path.

 {{{
 sudo xcode-select -p
 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
 }}}

 In the log file, there is an error:
 {{{
 :info:build xcode-select: error: tool 'actool' requires Xcode, but active
 developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command
 line tools instance
 }}}

 or I misinterpret this error message.

Comment:

 New in MacPorts 2.6.0 is that we use the command line tools developer
 directory, unless the port says it requires Xcode. Marcus has already
 suggested that he is testing adding `use_xcode yes` to the qt5 Portfile to
 fix similar problems reported with its subports. So try doing that to the
 qt5-qtcreator Portfile and let us know if it works.
