Thanks Erik and Trevor.

It seems then that the bottom line (after doing considerable additional searching) that fsl yocto dora does not actually support qtserialport.
(Although, if you add package qtserialport-e you then get what appears to be a qt4 version of qt serialport being built)

I found (at this URL: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2013-October/085140.html ) a changelog that indicates:

Changelog for meta-qt5:
  ...
  qtserialport: update to 5.1.1
 ...

Does that indicate that some version of yocto does support qtserialport (for Qt5.1.1), but that the fsl dora version does not?
