It's just too early for that. If you build Firefox against Qt you lose
quite some desktop integration bits.
That's why I explained that Gecko was ported to use Qt _not_ Firefox.
The main work was done for Fennec (aka Firefox mobile) which is a
completely different frontend with different hooks into the system.
I'm actually wondering if someone in the (mozilla) community will pick
it up and sort out the remaining things for Firefox. I'm not sure if
that will happen (some people tried it once in a while and always lost
interest for whatever reasons).
To answer the intial question though:
At least I'm aware of its existance. It's not really on my todo list
since I don't see any real point in providing it at the moment.
If someone wants to go for it (before I'm bored enough and do it at some
point ;-)) I could offer a subrepo under mozilla and probably a branch
for the stuff in my HG mozilla repo so it would be easier to sync with
my work and if it's clean enough we might be able to build out of one
codebase with spec file parameters.
There is opensuse-factory-mozilla@ btw and an IRC channel #opensuse-mozilla

So the question really is, what do you (or others who are interested)
really expect in the end?
Freedom from Gnome/GTK* bits installed on systems running no DTE other than
KDE?
Yes that would be rather nice no GTK
