Hi,

I struggled with this for FreeBSD ports, too, to package up qbs separately and 
qtcreator (without a duplicate of qbs). The solution for me was to build QBS 
first and install it, then build creator with:

QMAKE_ARGS+=    QBS_INSTALL_DIR=${PREFIX} 
CONFIG+=qbs_enable_project_file_updates

That solved the problem for the qbsprojectmanager plugin to pick up the 
installed QBS.

 It should then not build the qbs that is included in Qt Creator,
