You can simply get the request.GET content as a dict (making sure to convert the values to string or a desired type as they'd be list by default i.e: dict(request.GET) would give you something like {u'a': [u'val']}.

Once you are sure you have a dictionary of keys matching your model fields, you can simply do:

filtered = queryset.filter(**dict_container)
