This should probably be taken over to the cmake mailing list BUT when 
you "add_executable" are you setting the [WIN32] [MACOSX_BUNDLE] key 
words?  Usually you have some code like the following:

# Set the GUI type for different platforms
SET(GUI_TYPE )

# Set some Win32 Specific Settings
IF(WIN32)
 SET(GUI_TYPE WIN32)
ENDIF(WIN32)

# Set some Apple MacOS Specific settings
IF (APPLE)
  SET(GUI_TYPE MACOSX_BUNDLE)
ENDIF (APPLE)

add_executable(MyQtProgram ${GUI_TYPE} ${Sources})
target_link_libraries(MyQtProgram .... )

If you do NOT do something like this then you will NOT get the .app 
package on OS X.
