Keep in mind, "otool -L" doesn't show rpaths.
@rpath/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore is not an rpath.
@rpath is a place holder where an rpath can be substituted.
Anytime you see "@rpath" what it means is that the dependent library wants to be \
found using rpaths. Use "otool -l" | grep -A2 LC_RPATH to see the rpaths.

If you remove 
 set(CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH ON)
 SET(CMAKE_SKIP_BUILD_RPATH TRUE)
 SET(CMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH TRUE)
 SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH_USE_LINK_PATH TRUE)
then, it would probably be a minimal example.

To fix the errors below, you actually to do something like this.
set_target_properties(rpathcmake PROPERTIES INSTALL_RPATH
 "/Users/boudewijnrempt/kf5/i/lib")

What you probably want is to use a variable instead of an absolute path.
set_target_properties(rpathcmake PROPERTIES INSTALL_RPATH
 "@loader_path/../lib")

That property along with MACOSX_RPATH, or the global property CMAKE_MACOSX_RPATH are \
the 2 first variables you would set. MACOSX_RPATH property on a target indicates that \
its install 'ID' contains @rpath, and it wants to be found using rpaths.  \
INSTALL_RPATH property is a list of rpaths to help find dependencies which want to be \
found using rpaths.

Set the INSTALL_RPATH target property.
