I'm not sure if that helps you, but I'm a happy user of the
precompiled Gate.app (http://jerome.suhard.fr/gate/) where Qt works
nicely. There are some issues, but it's acceptable.

I don't know if your problems with polygons can be reproduced here
without a minimal example.

(I tried to compile Gate 6.2 using MacPorts and some of Jérôme's
patches, but there wasn't much response from developers of Gate to
problems reported here and I would need to take more time to figure
out how exactly to compile the latest version of Gate with CMake etc.)
