* In fact, most of apps related Qt expect libs and headers staying at
* $QTDIR/{lib,include}. Now its headers is installed to $X11BASE/include/qt2,

Wait, are you suggesting we move things like
${PREFIX}/bin/qt* -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/bin/
${PREFIX}/lib/libqt* -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/lib/
${PREFIX}/include/qt2/ -> ${PREFIX}/lib/qt/include/qt2/
(the filenames are hypothetical, I don't know if qt has any
executables -- just take these as examples of the idea)
If so, I'm against this change. There are reasons and history behind
us asking ports to conform to our hier; this runs completely counter
to it.
