It's been a while since I've done it, but I once downloaded the source 
for the mozilla suite on Debian and compiled firefox using a different 
interface.  I think I used a later version of gtk instead of whatever 
version was compiled into the one in the repositories.  I believe QT was 
on the list of possible interfaces, which makes me wonder if Canonical 
could make a kubuntu-firefox package or something that used a version 
compiled with QT.

After a little googling, I found that somebody is apparently working on 
Firefox for QT: http://browser.garage.maemo.org/news/10/
