There already is a building_qt5, but I don't see your point: that's a quick and 
simple way for the PortGroup file to know that it's being included in order to 
build Qt itself.

My specific case (turned out to be moot) was that having QTDIR set in the 
environment might undo MacPorts' sandboxing attempts, and let the build process 
pick up another Qt install. I feared that'd be particularly troublesome when 
building Qt, but it turns out that MacPorts already unsets the variable, 
somewhere.
