In turning this around, does that mean that all kf5 ports (currently in
your personal tree, only), could be expected to "mostly" work with
non-patched qt5? And they would automatically profit from switching to
qt5-kde, at some later point?

_If_ so, wouldn't it also be useful to try getting the kf5 ports into
MacPorts, independent of qt5-kde?

(Note that any really detailed answer may be lost on me, so no need to
elaborate. Just testing your defenses, so to speak...)
