The plan I'm aware of for getting platform look and feel with QML is to have 
QtQuick components for every platform. Theoretically, you could dynamically 
pick the appropriate plugin at run-time and run fine as long as you stick to 
the shared sub-set of API.

But I say theoretically because I'm not aware of any plans to actually 
implement this. It's a feature that needs to be discussed about how it gets 
done (and 5.1 at the earliest it's looking like). The closest we have now is 
that the Desktop components (a labs project) tries to get hints out of QStyle 
to look native across desktop platforms.
