I've never worked with this myself, but Mac Installer.app does a fairly good job at installing multiple packages at once through meta-packages (.mpkg), which basically install all packages they contain in one go. So if one could manage to make PyQt into a redistributable .pkg, the rest should be as easy as creating a meta-package from it and the Nokia Qt/Cocoa Mac installer package available from their download site. What's needed is an XCode project file to create the PyQt bundle -- I have no idea how to do this, but XCode is fairly well documented. After all, a utility called PackageMaker.app is shipped with the Apple Developer tools -- I haven't looked at it, but it might be the way to go.
