You have to install x to even use wayland, as there is literally NOTHING that runs on wayland.

Since GTK+3 Wayland is supported. Unfortunately, the GTK+ port to Wayland has major functionality gaps. Nevertheless, when porting application in general two issues must be covered:

Ensure that your application uses gtk+-3.0 for its pkg-config request.
All calls to the gdk_x11_ namespace and raw Xlib calls must be wrapped in build-time and run-time backend checks.
More details including plans and progress can be found on the GNOME wiki.

For Qt an additional package called dev-qt/qtwayland is required. In the Qt Wiki it says: "QtWayland is a Qt 5 module that wraps the functionality of Wayland. QtWayland is separated into a client and server side. The client side is the wayland platform plugin, and provides a way to run Qt applications as Wayland clients. The server side is the QtCompositor API, and allows users to write their own Wayland compositors."

Porting Qt applications is much easier than GTK+ applications. More information on how to use QtWayland can be found at http://wiki.qt.io/Qtwayland and at http://wayland.freedesktop.org/qt5.html .
