The silence tells everything I guess. Oh well. Even though my objective C skills are below zero, I managed to put together a simple wrapper class after a bit of googling and experimentation:

DockIconLabel.h:

@#ifndef DOCKICONLABEL_H
#define DOCKICONLABEL_H

#include

class DockIconLabel
{
public:
static void setValue(const QString &val);
};

#endif // DOCKICONLABEL_H@

DockIconLabel.mm:

@#include "DockIconLabel.h"
#import "Foundation/NSAutoreleasePool.h"
#import "AppKit/NSApplication.h"

void DockIconLabel::setValue(const QString &val)
{
const QByteArray utf8 = val.toUtf8();
const char* cString = utf8.constData();
[[[NSApplication sharedApplication] dockTile] setBadgeLabel:[[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:cString]];
}
