Yes it does: www/falkon was added march 5th. Or do you mean that there are no 
packages available for 11.1-RELEASE?

I don't understand the phrase "binary from the port system". Generally you are 
either building from ports, or installing from packages. The packages are 
binaries, available from the official FreeBSD package site (and KDE bleeding-
edge stuff is also available from area51).

The problem is right there in the error message you have posted:

===
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:46 (find_package): Could not find a 
configuration file for package "Qt5" that is compatible with requested version 
"5.9.0".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

/usr/local/lib/cmake/Qt5/Qt5Config.cmake, version: 5.7.1
===

You have Qt 5.7.1 installed, not Qt 5.9. Install Qt 5.9 first (the ports tree 
was updated to 5.9.3 on January 6th).

I think your specific problem is that you have 11.1-R (not 11-STABLE), so you 
are getting packages only from the quarterly branch. The KDE ports are *not* 
MFH'ed, so you generally won't get new packages until the next quarter. The 
next quarter *just* was branched off, so you may have more success later in 
the week.

Or build Qt from ports, and you'll get 5.9.4.

Personally, BTW, I would recommend using qupzilla-qt5 until you hit a website 
that doesn't work with that -- while falkon supports more stuff, it also hangs 
an awful lot (fortunately only single tabs) and I don't find it usable right 
now as "the main browser for doing all the stuff".
