I do not know about porting Windows code (MFC based) to Mac OS. The existing

Do I need to change the existing code (Windows code) very much. I have not
used Qt before this. Does Qt support the MFC?
To answer your last question, "No." Qt is a widget toolkit that serves
the same purpose of MFC, but does so in a very different way, and unlike
MFC is inherently cross-platform.
You will basically need to rewrite the program from scratch. There is no
tool that will automagically turn the MFC code in the application into
something that will work on Mac OS X or anything other than Windows.
Even a few seconds using Google would have answered your questions.

I suggest you port your app to use the Qt framework from TrollTech

You might have to implement some modules in your app differently
depending on target OS, particularly to get native look and feel.
The most important thing with using Qt, is that you will be able to
port your app to any unix dialect that uses X windows, as well.
Qt is good stuff, but be very careful going down this path.
While Qt applications are very portable, the Macintosh Qt apps tend to
stick out like sore thumbs.
Google Earth, likely one of the most popular Qt applications around, is
certainly an awesomely powerful application.
But the UI stinks. It looks bad, it doesn't behave like standard Mac OS X
applications, and it is generally clunky.
