limiting CCD magnitude for SN searching = f(???)

Is there a method for calculating a theoretical limiting magnitude as a function of integration time, aperture, f-ratio, and sensor QE (and any other relevant parameters)?

I would like to be able to calculate this for both point and diffuse sources.
