There is no specific Qt runtime though, nor should there be.

What you might want to look into is creating an Sdk extension. This is
a great way to add tooling (such as compilers) that can be used to
build flatpak apps with that tool. For example here is a java sdk
extension:
that is on flathub:

  https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk11

If there is a lot of dependencies needed in the application itself for
the program to run you can also create a base app. This is a good way
to make it easy to create apps that bundle common things while also
making sure that any such common things are shared between apps. For
example, flathub has an electron base app:

https://github.com/flathub/org.electronjs.Electron2.BaseApp

And an elementary base app:

https://github.com/flathub/io.elementary.BaseApp
