Below is what "qmake-qt4 -query" returns.

QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/opt/local
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/opt/local/share/qt4
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/opt/local/share/doc/qt4
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/opt/local/include
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/opt/local/lib
QT_INSTALL_FRAMEWORKS:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/opt/local/bin
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/opt/local/share/qt4/plugins
QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS:/opt/local/share/qt4/imports
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/opt/local/share/qt4/translations
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/opt/local/etc/qt4
QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/opt/local/share/qt4/examples
QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/opt/local/share/qt4/demos
QMAKE_MKSPECS:/opt/local/share/qt4/mkspecs
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.8.2

My impression is that QT_INSTALL_PREFIX refers to where QT has been installed.  
Am I wrong about that?

$ qmake-qt4 -set QT_INSTALL_PREFIX /opt/fubar
$ qmake-qt4 -query
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/opt/fubar
QT_INSTALL_PREFIX:/opt/local
QT_INSTALL_DATA:/opt/local/share/qt4
QT_INSTALL_DOCS:/opt/local/share/doc/qt4
QT_INSTALL_HEADERS:/opt/local/include
QT_INSTALL_LIBS:/opt/local/lib
QT_INSTALL_FRAMEWORKS:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks
QT_INSTALL_BINS:/opt/local/bin
QT_INSTALL_PLUGINS:/opt/local/share/qt4/plugins
QT_INSTALL_IMPORTS:/opt/local/share/qt4/imports
QT_INSTALL_TRANSLATIONS:/opt/local/share/qt4/translations
QT_INSTALL_CONFIGURATION:/opt/local/etc/qt4
QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES:/opt/local/share/qt4/examples
QT_INSTALL_DEMOS:/opt/local/share/qt4/demos
QMAKE_MKSPECS:/opt/local/share/qt4/mkspecs
QMAKE_VERSION:2.01a
QT_VERSION:4.8.2

How do I back out "/opt/fubar'?
