The informativeness of 'platform' hints could be improved by including

property 'SomeProp' is platform-specific (qt and carbon only).
Indeed, but then you have to scan comments. Which will be gone once you
compile the unit.
But this stuff REALLY has nothing to do with runtime...
The hints itself not. I agree.
But when doing RTTI, I might want to give the user some feedback.
In the current situation I've no option for that.
Time to introduce pragmas? Something like
pragma Platform (SomeProp, 'qt, carbon');
or in more general terms:
pragma <Pragma_Name> (<Identifier>, <Property> [, <Property>, ...]);
perhaps?
