Yes, the moc location on fedora 38 can be queried with:
pkg-config Qt5Core --variable=host_bins
If this works correctly on other systems, we should set
MOC=`pkg-config Qt5Core --variable=host_bins`/moc
Or put PATH=${PATH}:`pkg-config Qt5Core --variable=host_bins` and MOC=moc ?
I am more inclined towards the former, few surprises.

Does pkg-config give the information for the pathname of moc?
(the original question by Hin-Tak was asking about the
appropriate path to use moc command)
In my understanding, pkg-config is primarily designed to
provide the information to compile & link the libraries,
not designed to provide the information about the binary
executable commands.
Extra information beyond the standard prefix, sysconfdir, libdir etc. is package dependent.
In this case, Qt5Core.pc has a variable that provides the path to a directory containing binaries such as moc.
