The message posted to Gentoo-dev suggests that Qt3 is going away right
about NOW, but this doesn't seem to add up to what I'm seeing.
Thanks in advance for any comments,
It's monolithic vs. split ebuilds - Qt4 in Gentoo has gone to a modular
ebuild system - the monolithic Qt4 build is not supported.
Try:
eix -C x11-libs qt-

QT3 and QT4 are different, MythTV 0.21 needs QT3, 0.22 needs QT4. One good thing about this is that QT4 uses split ebuilds, so you need install much less of Qt for a Myth backend. Upgrading from 0.21 to 0.22 was painless AFAIR. I made a backup of the database but didn't need.

Personally, I'm pleased they are no longer spending time on EOL software and devoting it to the current set. By building binary packages, the downtime is minimal and if you use the same themes as before (I don't like the new 0.22 default) there's little relearning for your family. -- Neil Bothwick In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird.

That is great if you have one machine building packages and the rest of your machines pulling them from the server and install them.

portage pick the bits needed.
I wasn't aware that x11-libs/qt-gui was the new name for x11-libs/
qt. Especially since I had both installed. However I have now
unmerrged x11-libs/qt and `emerge -pvu world` does not show me short
of anything, so I thank you for your help.
It's not.
qt is a deprectaed meta package.
qt-gui is one of the split ebuilds that form part of the whole of Qt. There
are about another 10 or so.
