Just thinking here....
Perhaps you can use the export() command then make a cmake script to
include that, and just query for the libraries with
get_target_property(LIBS mytarget IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_RELEASE)
and create your *.pc file from that information?
That export is roughly equivalent to a *.pc file.
You can run that cmake script to generate the .pc file at build time or
install time if you want it to work with an IDE or some cmake generator
that ignores CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
That has the advantage of working with any target with any dependency
(Qt or not).
It also gives an export file for your PLplot users who choose to use
CMake instead of pkg-config.

Also, I
acknowlege that there is so much information available from
FindQt4.cmake it
is an extremely difficult problem to come up with a clean design, and
I am
not sure I could do any better than what is already in FindQt4.cmake. So
that is the end of that particular "clean design" sub-topic of this
thread.
Thanks, Mike, for the suggestion of using QT_*_LIBRARY_DEBUG or
QT_*_LIBRARY_RELEASE, but I am concerned those rather long lists of
variables might change in the future requiring on-going maintenance.
Therefore, I have decided to write a general macro to go through a
particular LIBRARIES list and generate three LIBRARIES lists based on the
general (or no keyword), debug, and optimized keywords that are found. I
plan to use the three such lists generated from QT_LIBRARIES for PLplot's
particular pkg-config export needs.
