Maybe this then:

#if QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE(5,0)
#  if defined(QT_NO_FPU) || defined(QT_ARCH_ARM) || defined(QT_ARCH_WINDOWSCE)
typedef float qreal_t;
#  else
typedef double qreal_t;
#  endif
Q_DECL_DEPRECATED qreal_t qreal;
#endif



template<typename T> class QBasicRect
{
    ...
};

typedef QBasicRect<float> QRectS;
typedef QBasicRect<double> QRectD;

class QRect : public QRect<int>
{
    /* constructors */
};

#if QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE(5, 0)
Q_DECL_DEPRECATED class QRectF : public QRect<qreal_t>
{
    /* constructors */
};
#endif


I personally don't like the name QBasicRect but QRect is taken already. 
QRectangle would help here, but not for QPoint or QSize. Also, the S and D 
suffixes are weird.

PS: bonus points for whoever guesses why I introduced qreal_t.
