There was Indigo, not exactly a port but a library to mimic Qt's API. http://www.dsource.org/projects/indigo/ But that import is incomplete at the moment - I'll have to see what code I still have. And maybe the project could be resurrected one of these days. Stewart.
I'd say wait and see how the bindings work out. Long term a D port of Qt would be great, but it would take several developers years to get any real percentage of the Qt classes ported, and if the D bindings rock then there is little need (other than just the desire to have to have Qt in a more modern language) Katrina
