Jos, it's dependent on the particular contest, or sponsoring organization.
For example, the ARRL VHF rules, actually do not specify a 'mobile'
category for
competition. They assume (falsely) that all mobiles will compete in the
'Rover'
category. There is a 'Single Op Portable' Category defined, which is closer
to QRP.
Other organizations may define their rules differently. Really have to
check the
rules for the particular contest.
