What would be the best way of integrating HTML_QuickForm with a template engine like Smarty?

  You should use phpsavant.com instead. It's much lighter and you can access all your PHP variables and functions in the template !!

  It's not too hard. Once you instantiate Smarty before the form, you output the form using Pear's Smarty rendering interface. You simply replace the $form->display(); line with something like the following:
  
  $renderer =& new HTML_QuickForm_Renderer_ArraySmarty($smarty);
  $form->accept($renderer);
  $smarty->assign('new', $renderer->toArray());
  $smarty->display('formtemplate.tpl');
