That's what I thought, but looking at freshports.org the only port that
currently depends on qt5-uitools is qt5-linguist, which itself is only
depended upon by devel/qt5 and graphics/luminance-qt5. Perhaps the
situation in Qt 5 is different from the one in Qt 4?

Right, I'll proceed with this part.
