Thanks everyone for your input on this. The solution for this is to add the strings &SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetCapabilites to the URL for the WMTS.
This seems to 'tell' QGIS to use WMTS instead of WMS.
This only worked for me in the latest master (1.9.0-354) version of QGIS.

Andreas,
I have a WMTS connection to try:
http://nis.cubewerx.com/cubewerx/cubeserv?CONFIG=OIM_MB_-_Orthophoto-WMTS
this is an OGC compliant WMTS server.
(the GetCapabilities request is at: http://nis.cubewerx.com/cubewerx/cubeserv?CONFIG=OIM_MB_-_Orthophoto-WMTS&SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities )
this is part of our NIS pilot project and will be available for another 3 months.
Unfortunately I have not been able to get this to work with either the stable version of QGIS 1.8.0 or the current development version of 1.9.
I am able to get this WMTS server to work with OpenLayers though through a web page that I have created.
Do you know how QGIS detects that this is a WMTS connection since we are using the WMS connection dialog? I am seeing error messages that keep saying that a WMS connection could not be established, is that because the error message is currently not specific to the type of connection (WMS or WMTS) or because it didn't try and make a WMTS connection?
Thanks,
Bob Bruce

Hi Jonathan,
Perhaps it would make sense to go the extra mile and either test another Geoserver WMTS or make your WMTS server publically available (at least in a password protected manner) - so that people can test it.
Although WMTS is standardized there are often minor issues that prevent particular implementations from working. I know that WMTS is working in general. I was able to test it against an Intergraph-based WMTS server - but I do not have a Geoserver instance at hand.
