Keeping everything in a single directory sounds reasonable to me. The Qt docs 
on deploying on Mac might give some hints:
  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/deployment-mac.html
(not on how to create the package from Macports, but on where to place files 
in the bundle).

only *one* standard packaging tool to worry about...
