You may take a look at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-umbrello,
which provides a cross compiled umbrello for Windows using kdelibs
4.14.60
(https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-kdelibs4).
As goody you can create portable and setup installers for 32bit and
64bit like done for umbrello
32bit 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-umbrello-installer).

64bit 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/windows:mingw:win64/mingw64-umbrello-installer.


The resulting binaries are currently rpm based and could be easily
extracted with 7zip File Manager (http://www.7-zip.org/). An example is
located at
32bit
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win32/openSUSE_13.2/noarch/
64bit
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/windows:/mingw:/win64/openSUSE_13.2/noarch/
See for mingw32-umbrello-installer... .rpm and
mingw32-umbrello-portable... .rpm

The required work is to take the related linux spec file and simple port
it to mingw32 which has been done for umbrello:

umbrello.spec
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/KDE:Current/umbrello/umbrello.spec?expand=1
mingw32-umbrello.spec
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-umbrello/mingw32-umbrello.spec?expand=1

With the help of osc, the opensuse build service client, you can run
local builds, which is useful to reduce turn around times especial for
setup of newly ported packages.
Running cross compiled windows applications with wine work goods from my
experience with the following receipt. After unpackaging the portable
package run

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS= wine bin/kdeinit4.exe
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS= wine bin/umbrello.exe

for dbus debugging you can run
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS= wine bin/qdbusviewer.exe

The windows:mingw:win32|64 project on opensuse build service provides
about 370 packages
(https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/windows:mingw:win32), so the
chance is good that many basic packages are available.

If you need some additional help, let me know.
