Description
Linking flags set by the legacysupport portgroup are not picked up by the qmake5 portgroup. See discussion here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/793d1f843e0bb8e7b8327ed3e4509aade9f83aae
It seems legacysupport sets LDFLAGS, but this variable is ignored by the qmake5 PG. Instead, one needs to add QMAKE_LFLAGS+=... to the configure args to control linking.

Looking at the qmake (i.e. Qt4) portgroup, it seems to transfer all linker and compiler options. I wonder why qmake5 does not also do it.

Yeah, was not sure myself why it was so specific in picking and choosing the options to pass...
I suspect the best way forward here is to augment the qmake5 PG to use leacysupport directly, as then it will 'known' when it has to use it and can add the flags are required wherever it needs... I'll have a quick look.
