The Nokia Qt SDK has cross compilers to create applications for Maemo or Symbian devices. When you build an application on your PC, you choose the target (Maemo, Symbian or the Simulator). The Maemo target will generate native code to run on your N900.

The Nokia SDK is supposedly the new "right" way to create Qt applications for Nokia devices, so I recommend that you give it a try.
