Understood. With

  $ g++ --version
  i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)

and qt 4.8 installed via:

  $ brew install qt --developer --with-qt3support

(and a small hand-full of code changes for OSX 10.6 support, mostly involving headers), I was able to get VolViewer compiled. Could you try a newer version of GCC, but not too new?

I'm just trying to get the lastest commit working (banghamlabSVN/VolViewer/VolViewer at 245), but need to first compile a new version of Qt.
