Qt 5 is supposed to be mostly source code compatible with Qt 4. The exceptions are supposed to be highlighted in dist/changes-5.0.0 in the source tree. > I am using qwt 6.0.1 in some of these applications, if that matters.

Beta is expected soon. Or just clone the git repo.

No personal experience here, but it should work. If you run into problems, this is a good time to get them fixed.
