For what it is worth, I have the following in 
$QTDIR/mkspecs/common/g++.conf:-

QMAKE_RPATH             = -Wl,-enable-new-dtags 
-Wl,-rpath,\\\$$$$ORIGIN:\\\$$$$ORIGIN/../lib:/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.2/lib 
-Wl,-rpath,

Whilst this works fine when building regular Qt apps, it gets mangled 
when building PyQt4 so it does not work as intended, no doubt due to the 
horrible escaping required.
