If you had bothered informing yourself, you'd have found that GTK+,
Windows XP and MacOSX (as well as Athena and Motif and naked X11, and
I probably forgot something) _are_ natively supported in the developer
version.
Qt is C++, and the whole signal/memory management model and baggage
coming with it is not likely to blend well with Emacs which ties into
lots more of operating system functionality than just "widgets".
GNOME and KDE are _not_ "basic widgets" but complete desktops. Emacs
supports drag&drop from them to itself, but that is mostly the extent
of its capabilities. But GTK+ of course provides the GNOME _looks_,
and the icons it uses are also synchronized with GNOME 2.
