Build Qt6 without X11 dependencies?

A project I'm working on is striving for a Wayland native experience, and is trying to avoid the needing of any X11/xcb dependencies if at all possible. Right now it seems GTK4 (based on a preliminary look) is capable of being built without X11, and was wondering if Qt6 provides the same.
If memory serves, the QtWayland docs for Qt5 used to say that the Wayland QPA was a wrapper around the X11 backend or primitives (I think). The Qt and Wayland wiki for 6.1/6.2-dev though make no mention of the X11 backend and give the appearance it might be possible to do what I'm looking for.
Am I misreading or is it actually possible to produce a Wayland native Qt6 build without any X11 dependencies?

Just build Qt and don't deploy the xcb plugin (if it is really build).
