If you can convince the cmake Qt detection code that you have a Mac, 
these items will be added automatically.

I tried cmake in the 0.8 branch and it didn't think I have a Mac either!

-- Found GRASS: /Applications/GRASS.app/Contents/Resources (6.2.1)
-- Looking for openpty
-- Looking for openpty - not found
-- Python libraries found
-- SIP not found!
-- Python bindings disabled due dependency problems!
-- Looking for Q_WS_X11
-- Looking for Q_WS_X11 - not found.
-- Looking for Q_WS_MAC
-- Looking for Q_WS_MAC - not found.
-- Looking for Q_WS_WIN
-- Looking for Q_WS_WIN - not found.
-- Found Qt-Version 4.2.2

I then set Q_WS_MAC:INTERNAL=1 in CMakeCache.txt to help it out. It then 
complained about an undefined openpty variable so copied the current 
FindGRASS.cmake to the branch. It now believes I have a Mac.

There must be other things that are different in the 0.8 branch becase 
in trunk, I had QGIS and the GRASS plugin built and running (without 
pty) before I fixed FindGRASS.cmake.
