I cannot speak for 32bit builds, but I think the real issue is with building. 10.7 (and higher?) can apparently build Qt 5.4 just fine in a way that one can use the Digia installer on, say, 10.9 and then copy the resulting installation tree to a 10.6 host. I did that (and also failed to build Qt 5.4.0 on 10.6).
