Easier said than done. build.kde.org uses a separate install prefix for each project it builds.
Somehow I suspect the Qt5 CMake system would shatter if it was asked to install each Qt5 submodule into it's own prefix.

Not to mention that it would make updating Qt5 on build.kde.org a royal PITA because you would have to run the module builds in their precise upstream dependency order (in case of incompatibilites) which Jenkins isn't really designed for (from what I have seen in it's interface so far at least). It would also mean maintaining a list of their modules on build.kde.org.

Is there any good reason why the Qt developers are dragging the chain and not updating qt5.git? Obviously the individual modules build fine...
