Given how much efforts it takes every time to fix something for Qt4, even if it means just digging out a right version and reverting some commits, I start asking a question if it is easier just to fix some early 5.x version. There should not be anything arch-specific, it should be just C++, I guess. Just find fallbacks for whatever misses in SDK, but if it works on 10.6 Intel, it might be pretty feasible.
