Ok, I wasn't lucid at all. I wrote that logic not to force Qt to build with 
only one compiler (there's no single bit oriented onto this), but to make 
Qt use the correct mkspec for the compiler in use (e.g., Qt configure 
tests doesn't/didn't support a compiler named c++). If there's no 
QMAKESPEC for the chosen compiler, the one for the compiler in base 
(either GCC or Clang) is chosen. Thus, CC and CXX are never passed to 
Qt configure system, they're just handled by bsd.qt.mk, which will then 
choose its compiler.

To check this, compare the output of

$ make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS -C /usr/ports/devel/qt4-corelib

$ make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS -C /usr/ports/devel/qt4-corelib 
CXX=clang++

$ make -V CONFIGURE_ARGS -C /usr/ports/devel/qt4-corelib 
CXX=distcxx

What to do about this? Give me a couple of days to think about it...
