What I usually end up doing is listing my installed dev-qt/qt* ebuilds, and updating all of them together explicitly: emerge -1 qtcore:4 qtgui:4 qtsql:4 etc. Alternatively, just try "emerge --update --deep world" - it probably should work if you have a consistent, complete and updateable world set.
