I've just been through a similar issue with Andrew Levin offlist. Our conclusion, based on the setups of our 4 different Macs, was that it's not possible with QuickTime (including Pro) right now. I think it's something that should be reported by as many users as possible on the OS X feedback page.
Thanks Philip -- I'll certainly do this. In the meantime, after some messing around, I've stumbled accidentally across a way to use a SoundFont directly as a sound module for a MIDI controller. Of course, there are other reasons why it would be desirable to have QT appear in the Audio MIDI setup utility, but for what it's worth, you can use an application called SynthTest (http://puck.homeip.net/~creed/). It will automatically use the built-in QT sounds regardless of what you have selected in the QT preferences as your music synthesiser, but you can click "edit" to bring up a window which contains a menu which allows you to select the SoundFont -- the trick is, although it looks like an ordinary pop-up menu, it only works if you right- or control-click on it (!). Then you can select a new SoundFont and play it directly from a MIDI controller.
Hope this is of use to someone.
