You can do it at the low level (i.e. within a custom mapper) using
vtkQtLabelRenderStrategy. The only mapper that currently uses it is
vtkLabelPlacementMapper, which draws a set of labels from a dataset
preprocessed with vtkPointSetToLabelHierarchy. The example:

VTK/Examples/Infovis/Python/labels.py

is the best place to look for how to use it.
