Not really more complicated than building Qt any other way ...

I got that. It's self-evident, even: QTDIR will be empty when installing from scratch so cannot be of much use during a build...

As said in the email I transferred, you can do that by making sure the correct qmake is called, or a cmake that finds the proper cmake files.
According to Thiago, QTDIR is no longer required since Qt 2.

Add /opt/local/bin to your path so that apps in it override the ones in /usr/bin, and you ought to be fine.

No. The cmake files will be written so that they find the Qt version that is required, or the best supported. The cmake files are even named so that there can be no confusion.
