Yes, maybe that's it. I don't compile Qt from source; I install it
directly from the .dmg package that Trolltech provides, and it Just
Works for me. :)

You don't to be root in order to build TeXworks (and you can run the
resulting binary directly from the build dir, without installing it
under /usr/local or whatever). But I guess you might need to add
development packages (Qt4, poppler, hunspell, etc) that require admin
rights to install, if they're not already present.
