Yep, this documents the API quite nicely.
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Languages/Smoke also has a more 
complete example that illustrates how to create a simple application 
with SMOKE.

I'm actually considering adding QString back in. That wouldn't prevent 
marshalling, but languages without proper string classes can still make 
use of QString (thinking of the QtLua bindings here, which had some 
hacks in place to get QString back).
