For a start I don't really like having 3 blocks all with condition:fooSupport (it seems inelegant) and I don't really know if this is the "right" way to do external dependancies - I'm just tring to map from my .pro setup as directly as possible.

Yeah for the moment this is the way to go until we have something more 
convenient.

I'd say moduleSearchPaths is exactly what you need to set.
Does it work if you set it on project level?

Project {
     moduleSearchPath: ["something"]
     Product {
         // ...
     }
}

The grammar is in <qbs-repo>/src/lib/parser/qmljs.g
