It looks like 'Quantum-GIS / mac / cmake / 1qt.cmake.in' could be readily updated to include some or all of the Qt image formats. Total size for all image formats is ~ 1.2 MB on disk.

Only jpeg is included because it was needed by something in QGIS.  If external plugins can and will make use of the other Qt image plugins, I can add them.
