As announced 5 months ago[1], Gentoo's Qt team now officially deprecates usage of x11-libs/qt:3 and packages depending on this version of Qt. The only supported and maintained version of Qt, both by the upstream developers (Nokia) and the Gentoo Qt Project, is now only version 4 (specifically >=4.5
