The Qgis install document, OSX section has compile instructions for  
SIP and PyQt.  It's simple.

There are a couple different combinations possible for a PyQt install  
(whether to use system python or python.org python), so packaging  
binaries would be a bit tricky (much like what I do - spearate Tiger  
and Leopard binaries).  Those old binaries from 2005 could get away  
with a single binary package because there was no Leopard with it's  
usable system Python.
