Not really.

You may be interested in Wt ( http://webtoolkit.eu ), which provides a
Qt-like API for webapplications.

There is an experimental connector for Wt called WtDesktop which uses
QtWebKit to provide a desktop interface ( see
http://gitorious.org/wtdesktop and http://www.elpauer.org/?p=428 ).

In Wt, your code is the same but depending on the connector library
you use, you get a different kind of application:
- if you link to wthttp you get a webapp with its own embedded HTTP/HTTPS server
- if you link to wtfcgi you get a FastCGI module you can use with any
webserver (Apache, IIS, etc)
- if you link to wtdesktop you get a desktop application
