I had the same problem trying to compile Qt 4.8 on OS X 10.5.8. QtWebKit
does not build (compiler error because of reference to 10.7 function)
and QGIS needs Webkit.
How did you solve the problem? Disable the help menu?

WARNING #1: serious Qt packaging bug
Nokia screwed up compiling their "official" binaries. Everything BUT QtWebKit
works on OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). QtWebKit appears to use a OS X 10.7-only system
function. This breaks QGIS help and some plugins on OS X 10.6.
It's possible it's not really Nokia's fault. I'll have to compile Qt myself
and package a new QGIS, but there is a bug in Apple's SDK mechanism that could
be the problem.
WARNING #2: delete existing plugins before running QGIS 1.7.4. If you can do
it before installing QGIS, disable them in the old QGIS, then update and
re-enable them one at a time after upgrading QGIS. If you have already
installed 1.7.4, you need to manually delete them from ~/.qgis/python/plugins.
I've had a report of plugins directly using a specific GDAL version like 1.8 (I
don't know how this is possible), which will crash QGIS 1.7.4 which uses GDAL
1.9. There also appears to be a problem with PyQwt so the profile plugin will
crash QGIS.
Sorry for the breakage. I'll try to fix things as quickly as I can.
