And just to follow this up a bit I decided to take my self built Qt 5.3.1 out of the equation and load everything using the download from qt-project.org. These same problems also appear so it really does appear there is a problem with detecting frameworks on OS X, using CMake as the base system to generate all the build files.

this sort of amazes me in the fact that there must be _nobody_ using Qt5 + CMake + QtCreator to build their applications. No wonder OS X doesn't get any love on QtCreator.
