Yikes!  You're probably not joking... but could you be?  Please?

pkg-plist should pass bits through to +CONTENTS and not "mother knows 
best" me.  qmake(1) supports major, minor, and micro version numbering 
of libraries.  pmk(1) supports major and minor.  I consider this a 
rather large malfeature that had good intentions, but isn't serving any 
real purpose beyond being a shortcut.  -sc
