Actually I did add some API to the QtScript core that the debugger uses 
(like getting/setting the scope chain associated with a QScriptContext). 
But it should be a matter of #if'ing the Qt version a few places and 
provide a reasonable fallback when compiling against 4.4. Why not create 
a .pro file that pulls in $QTDIR/src/scripttools/debugging/debugging.pri 
and see how far the build gets (no, I don't want to be the first to try 
it). :-)

By the way, the Labs project won't be updated anymore now, it's way too 
out of sync with the version that's in Qt.
