Using Qt Creator doesn't mean you can't make use of the way more advanced 
CMake build system :)
If, however, suffering with qmake is part of the exercise, then the best way is 
probably to build and install all KDE libraries into a common prefix and 
reference that via environment variable. qmake has support for those.

If macport has KDE libraries installed somewhere, you should be able to 
reference that location either in a hard coded way or through an environment 
variable that is set before qmake runs.

But, as Martin said, people who actually do use Mac for development might have 
even better ways of doing it.

Cheers,
Kevin
