This is what I did with the USGS TNM symbols – I created my own style file then converted them with the SLYR tool to QGIS XML.
QGIS uses qml files to apply layer configurations to other layers. ArcGIS uses lyr files to apply layer configurations to other layers. If this is not the type of information you are wanting to transfer with the project. Update (edit) your question with some description to clarify.
