It is not supported on Mac OS-X Lion either.

From the dialog at Options > C/C++ > Build Tools > Add

Specifying the directory where the clang compiler is located, the following error is returned:

"No compiler sets were found in the directory ..."

@Alexander Simon:
This is a detail, but I noticed from the change log that CLang is classified as a GNU project. I think this is not true.

E.g.:

<toolchain name="CLang" display="CLang Compiler Collection" family="GNU" qmakespec="${os}-llvm"/>

GNU family in this context means:
- tool collection is GNU compatible and can be used instead of any other tool collection of GNU family without significant changes in code, makefiles, and so on.
For example cc compiler does not compatible with gcc.
Attribute family is used for finding best tool collection if project is moved to another system. Project keeps two attributes of the tool collection: name and family (for example "CLang|GNU"). If other system does not have "CLang" tool collection, IDE will use other tool collection from GNU family (for example "GNU|GNU").
