You can, but you have to do everything by hand: Make your own chroot 
(or VM), install dependencies, copy in your source, build it, create a 
click package, copy it to the emulator, install it, and launch it.  I 
used to do this, but it was a pain.  Thanks to Randy Olive, I'm set up 
with CMake now, and a single click builds, packages, installs, and runs 
my project on the emulator.  (Well, about 50% of the time -- I just 
keep hitting the button until it all works.)  It's worth the pain of 
the transition, especially if you can get someone else to do it for you 
:).

If it helps, here are the commits where we made the switch from qmake 
to cmake:
