I've been using Qt Creator + CMake on OS X for a while now (that is,
opening the top level CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator instead of
ui/qt/Wireshark.pro). It needs to run CMake more often than I would like
but otherwise works well.

CMake can generate XCode projects as well but it didn't work very well
the last time I tried it.
