Well this might be a little too involved but one solution might be:

qt->WAV/AIFF->mp3

You could use the EnhancedQT external to convert to a temporary 
wave/aiff file.  Then send that file to something like the lame 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/lame/> mp3 encoder executable using 
the command line.  The lame executable isn't too big and could be 
hidden in the app bundle on OS X I think.

The EnhancedQT external currently only supports exporting using a 
dialog but adding an option to just export and audio track to a high 
quality WAV/AIFF without any additional options wouldn't be too 
difficult.
