Comment (by rjvbertin@…):

 It seems that your port:phonon version has a patch on the location where
 external cmake files are expected. If that assessment is correct than my
 hunch only gets stronger that the automoc patch requires patching more
 than just 1 port. My version which has what I presume is the previous
 version of the CMakeLists patch does NOT build. Worse, the configure step
 fails with errors that do not even indicate clearly what went wrong.

 I also don't really like the idea of having to use CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
 extensively. It's not a Tcl-style variable with `-append`, `-replace` and
 `-delete` operations; I'm not aware of a CMake feature to add elements to
 a variable via the commandline rather than (re)setting it.

 Installing all cmake files in a dedicated directory is nice but mostly
 cosmetics. It shouldn't come at the expense of increasing code and
 maintenance complexity in Portfiles.

 Anyway, you're welcome to "fix" polkit-qt ...
