One idea here is to have an Alien::Smoke and/or Alien::Qt packages (ala 
Alien::wxWidgets) which allows you to break those dependencies into 
separate dists -- so you can automatically install everything with the 
cpan client, but you can also quickly upgrade the Qt4 dist for 
perl-only changes.

I'll second that.  (Disclaimer:  I'm the Module::Build maintainer.)
