Qt4 used to behave as you suggest.
It was changed in r44200
(http://trac.macports.org/changeset/44200/trunk/dports/aqua/qt4-mac/Portfile).

Some of the variants were removed because they were needed by other packages
(r44200 lists them).

In addition, having all these variants made the port much harder to maintain.
