It's doable for simple tools that are using the interactive layer

One would "just" have to write a qt backend.
However for more complex tools, they're already targeting gtk+
directly (well, through mygtk2 and ugtk2) so one would have to write a
second GUI from scratch.
More bugs, more IHM issues IMHO
I think it would be better to use our ressources in enhancing the
qt-gtk bridge and polishing there & there.
My 2 cents
