Cmake pretty much builds cleanly any where. The CMake syntax is easy
to pick up. Although there are some OS X issues (frameworks) we can
certainly work around them (make plain dylibs) in the mean time. I
have been able to use a single cmake file to build projects on
Linux/IRIX/AIX/OSX and windows. If we are starting a "vote", then I
vote for CMake.
Just my 2 cents

All,
I have also looked at various cross-platform solutions and must say
that I have yet to find anything that works better than qmake.
qmake is open source, GPL, and is included on most Linux distros by
default. There are binary installers for OS X and Windows. It
supports both MS VC and Xcode.
When used properly it uses some very clean project files and
properly handles creating .app bundles on Mac OS X.
Many people don't realize that it will work well on projects that
don't even use Qt.
I worked on a project with over 100K lines of code spread across 50+
directories entirely powered by qmake.
