Qt guy here... Windows and Linux are a breeze, pretty much dead simple as I thought they'd be, just run winqtdeploy, make installer out of resulting directory, copy other libraries, done. On Linux, just ship it and install dependencies on target or make a package appropriately.
OS X however is a nightmare if you need other libraries beyond Qt unless you know all the voodoo of install_name_tool. But maybe that's just my experience showing.
