All parts of Qt that are non about GUI, like strings, io, 
network, regexp,... are or certainly will be in phobos. So for D 
applications started from ground I don't really see the benefits.
But if D is compatible with Qt/C++ existing code, it will be 
great win. In this case QtD is clearly a strategic goal.
