#62982: qt6: add port(s) for new Qt version 6

---------------------+-------------------------
 MacPorts has several ports qt5* and qt4*, for the version 5.x and 4.x of
 the '''Qt''' application development tool kit. The Qt upstream developers
 have released versions 6.2 and 6.1 of Qt. I would like to be able to use
 Qt version 6 for some apps which depend on it, for example '''freeciv'''.
 Thus I would appreciate a set of qt6* ports which parallel the existing
 qt5* and qt4* ports.

 Supporting information:

 Given the large number of subports in `port info qt5`, I am guessing that
 making a Qt6 port might be quite a bit of work. I don't know to what
 extent it is similar enough to Qt5 that one can save effort by reusing
 parts of the Qt5 port.

 Sorry if this ticket is redundant. I don't see any "qt6" tickets when I
 search this Trac.
