Much as I love its API and I think it's fantastic on X11 and Windows, if you're looking mainly to develop Mac apps you should give Qt a miss.
Qt is probably the best toolkit available if you want to do crossplatform programming in C++.
Your only other option is Java, which can look native when you use SWT or a proper look and feel like Quaqua. However, Java isn't suitable for tiny applications due to the overhead it introduces.
