I am no expert, but given that I recently had to go through the process...

I used buildroot to compile the kernel and fs for the target board (ARM). Buildroot's latest incarnation supports compiling Qt 4.5.2 directly within itself, and with a little tweaking, can support a 4.5.3 compile. However, since I needed other versions, I just used the toolchain I ended up with using buildroot to compile Qt embedded using Trolltech's published directions (./configure with whatever options, then make, then make install - don't forget the last step!).

Compiling the Qt libraries themselves were fairly straightforward, albeit time consuming. Getting a working toolchain up and running was by far the bigger pain in the neck.
