I use the mingw that comes with Qt, then msys, and the gtk bundle dumped in the 
msys directory.

I use a script to build and install the poppler from source:

<start script>

#!/bin/bash

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=path-to-gtkbundle/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG=path-to-gtkbundle/bin/pkg-config.exe
export QTDIR=path-to-qt
export QTLIBDIR=$QTDIR/lib
export QTINCLUDEDIR=$QTDIR/include
export QTBINDIR=$QTDIR/bin


#do a build with the debug libraries
#this line will fail if source is just unpacked
mingw32-make clean 

./configure -enable-poppler-qt4 -disable-poppler-cpp -disable-utils 
-disable-cairo-output -disable-poppler-glib 
POPPLER_QT4_CFLAGS="-I/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/include" 
POPPLER_QT4_LIBS="-L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/lib -L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/bin -lQtCored4 
-lQtGuid4 -lQtXmld4" POPPLER_QT4_TEST_CFLAGS="-I/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/include" 
POPPLER_QT4_TEST_LIBS="-L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/lib -L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/bin -lQtTestd4"

mingw32-make

rm -rf debug
mkdir debug
cd poppler/.libs
cp libpoppler.a libpoppler.dll.a libpoppler.la libpoppler-7.dll ../../debug
cd ../../qt4/src/.libs
cp libpoppler-qt4.a libpoppler-qt4.dll.a libpoppler-qt4.la libpoppler-qt4-3.dll 
../../../debug
cd ../../..

#now a build with the release libraries
mingw32-make clean

./configure -enable-poppler-qt4 -disable-poppler-cpp -disable-utils 
-disable-cairo-output -disable-poppler-glib 
POPPLER_QT4_CFLAGS="-I/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/include" 
POPPLER_QT4_LIBS="-L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/lib -L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/bin -lQtCore4 
-lQtGui4 -lQtXml4" POPPLER_QT4_TEST_CFLAGS="-I/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/include" 
POPPLER_QT4_TEST_LIBS="-L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/lib -L/c/Qt/2010.05/qt/bin -lQtTest4"

./clean-ansi.sh

mingw32-make

rm -rf release
mkdir release
cd poppler/.libs
cp libpoppler.a libpoppler.dll.a libpoppler.la libpoppler-7.dll ../../release
cd ../../qt4/src/.libs
cp libpoppler-qt4.a libpoppler-qt4.dll.a libpoppler-qt4.la libpoppler-qt4-3.dll 
../../../release
cd ../../..

<end script>
The script works for me, but it is very primitive (no error checking or 
anything), so as always, no guarantee that it will do what you need.

You will need to add the dlls associated to the current directory, in general 
will need these:

mingwm10.dll
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
freetype6.dll
libpng14-14.dll

In terms of dependencies you definetely need freetype and libpng, and also as I 
explained somewhere else, pkgconfig. These all come with the gtkbundle.

Let me know if this helps.
