The port might be via Wine, same as the Linux version.

I wish more Mac OS X application developers would port their software to other platforms, but sadly this is basically unheard of. With continued improvements to WxWidgets, GTK+ and (to a much lesser extent) Qt and XUL hopefully people will start embracing toolkits designed for true cross-platform development rather than developing for each proprietary API individually and considering other platforms as an afterthought.

What give you the impression that Qt doesn't have many continued improvements? If anything I get the exact opposite. The Qt devs are improving the OS X support significantly.
I'm sure it does, it's just out of reach of most small developers due to its commercial nature so is less likely to have as big of an impact as the others.
