It's not the intention that you have to add /opt/local/libexec/qt*/bin to the path. That's what the *-qt* links are for, and that's what qtchooser is intended to help circumvent too.

No, it's a "Thiago thing". He wrote it. Then again, when I say I took my layout inspiration from Linux, that boils down to Ubuntu because that's what I'm running. As good a generalists' Linux example to take inspiration for MacPorts from as any, and probably one of the better/best thought out.

There's a submission for it on trac. You'll probably be able to figure out how to edit its configuration file(s) to cope with the legacy qt4-mac port yourself; it just needs to be pointed to the Qt bin dir and the lib dir. 

I realise though that it might be impossible to set it up for the legacy qt4-mac port if that indeed installs qmake, moc etc. in /opt/local/bin . You'd get a name clash ... bummer!
