Have you seen http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/qtwinmigrate/index.html ? If you need a hand then drop me a line, I have been coding with Qt for the last 6 years, using it on Mac and Windows. I guess starting from scratch is somewhat of a sledge hammer solution, but if you really want a native Mac OS X app then I would use Cocoa anytime, it all depends on the size and complexity of the project.
