There are several ways:
kalyptus: see cvs/fpc/utils/kalyptus
google on kde bindings / qt bindings
Florian started from the c-kalyptus one.

smoke: more for scripting languages
smoke/refract: c++ headers to xml using the gcc parsing capability.
C++ may look to be the perfect parser for c++,
but qt is not c++ but an enhanced delphi like
language (hence why the moc)
so distance to qt language is big.

freeclx: based on moc parsing. Moc converts qt language to c++.
So Moc is close to the qt language and it gives you a very
able parser.
With some modifications to the lex/yacc you can let moc
produce a pascal qt binding.
But each time trolltech adds to the qt language, they
renew the moc,
then you need to port your adaptations to the moc lex/yacc
again.
We adapted the qt part of freeclx from qt 2.2.4 to qt
2.3.2 and qt/embedded
The result is on
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/qtforfpc/qt2/FreeClx/
qtc binding: as pascal can easily use c-libraries, the qtc binding
seems a good base
but difficult to maintain at each update of the qtc
binding.
Andreas Hausladen is very productive in this
matter. (allready qt3 binding),
I guess qt4 is in the make. Perhaps you can join
forces with him.
