You'll need that change anyway to build eventually.
You may find the CMake patch found on this bug report useful so  
QtUiTools will be found correctly.
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=4554&pos=10

For now, you'll have to set them manually.
QT_QTUITOOLS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include/QtUiTools
QT_QTUITOOLS_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libQtUiTools.a
QT_QTUITOOLS_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libQtUiTools.a


These problems don't come up if one does their own build & install of  
Qt.  Only with the binary distribution, and I dislike how they've  
done it.   Files scattered in different places. Some under /Library/ 
Frameworks, some under /usr/include & /usr/lib, some under /usr/local/ 
Qt4.2.  So CMake has difficulty in finding all the stuff.  CMake  
relies on qmake to tell it where everything is, and nothing qmake can  
tell you will point you to the QtUiTools stuff (it can tell you where  
the stuff is if you do your own build of Qt).
