You can, if you compile the Qtopia sdk and QtEmbedded yourself using the gcc 
3.2 compiler. I did so, and it works. I wrote a howto:

http://cumulus.kflog.org/en/howto-gcc-3-2.html 

It may not be very straightforward, and is a little time consuming, and may 
have to be improved. But it definitely creates a working qtopia test 
environment for the qvfb on the x86 desktop. To compile for the Zaurus, you 
still need the cross compiler, that is 2.95.x based !
