I don't know exactly what you mean with that, but I doubt it's easier 
with anything else.

Another option might be pygame + simple OpenGL though, if you are 
planning on heavy use of Canvas-like things, that might be good enough & 
less heavyweight.

That has little todo with the toolkit. You need some 
image-converting-code, I've written such for Cocoa, to convert OpenCV's 
RGBA to OSX ARGB. But the last resort would be to save the images from 
OpenCV and read them using Qt (or whatever toolkit you use in th eend.
