Here's another way, which uses the Component.onCompleted script. It's more static than my other method, so I guess it depends on what you want to do with it.

import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
    id: containing_rect
    property string text

    height: text_field.paintedHeight

    text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat"
    //text: "a short string"

    Text {
        id: text_field
        anchors.top: parent.top
        anchors.left: parent.left

        height: parent.height
        width: parent.width

        text: parent.text
        wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
    }

    Component.onCompleted: {
        if (text_field.paintedWidth > 200) {
            width = 200
        } else {
            width = text_field.paintedWidth
        }
    }     
}
