Yes touchscreens are supported by Qt Embedded often in conjunction with 
tslib. More info here http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qt-embedded-pointer.html

I believe that xorg also has a tslib input driver in which case it 
should nehave just like any other pointer if you run your app under X11 
using the desktop version of Qt.

HTH,
