well, not if you compile Scribus in the way I did. I guess there's a way 
to compile libraries _into_ the app-bundle with CMAKE but I didn't 
really care. Rather it seems external libraries get linked - just from 
comparing the size of the precompiled binary that I had installed before 
to the one that I compiled myself: 354,9 MB (precompiled) vs. 74,2 MB 
(self-compiled) - I guess one big difference is that you can install the 
pre-compiled binaries even without having installed Qt on your machine 
while compiling from source requires to have Qt installed (I've used the 
pre-compiled Qt-paccage from 
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x/ 
-> "carbon" - the cocoa-version is supposed to run on ppc as well. 
however, you'd have to compile it yourself which is pretty much a pain ...)

if it's only 1.4.0 you want you could go with RC1 I think (I believe 
that's what I did first) -> 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.4.0.rc1/Scribus_1.4.0.rc1.dmg/download

... took me 2 days the last time I did that ...
