It wasn't changed prematurely. You have to specify USE_QT_VER *before*
including bsd.port.pre.mk, using OPTIONS or not. OTOH, you can only
check OPTIONS *after* including bsd.port.pre.mk.

IMHO both are bugs in bsd.port.mk, see also the discussion in PR 57496.
As a workaround I (personally) refrain from using OPTIONS in my ports
until the problems are fixed.
