It's actually an inconsistency with the Qt pre-built installer for mac and Leopard. It appears that it was built on Tiger and something must have changed in the os. If you download Qt as source and build it it works with the aforementioned minor alteration for Sip's site-packages location. The issues with Qt and the site-packages location for the sipconfig module appear to be unrelated.
