I don't know about the Quadro 4000, but with the FX3800 I had a hell of a time
tracking down a 3 pin stereo bracket. I eventually was directed to a vendor

Stereo Bracket for Quadro FX 3800. This will plug directly into the board for
the 3800, it probably will for the 4000, but I'd check the graphics card
diagram first.
PNY item # 900-50762-0000-000 is available from various vendors. I
bought mine from B&H Photo.
I do not have a 4000 to verify, but it seems like a decent bet that the
same adapter would work for it.
Also, it took forever to find out how to get it to work with NVIDIA 3D vision.
As it turns out, you have to set stereo mode to 10 in the config file. I know
it doesn't say that anywhere; they always say to set to 3 for hardware stereo.
This will not work if you buy the 3 pin DIN and plug it into the board yourself.

This is covered in the README file for the Linux Quadro FX driver:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/270.41.19/README/index.html
Appendix B. X Config Options:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/270.41.19/README/xconfigoptions.html
Includes descriptions of the 11 different stereo options, along with a
description of which graphics cards are required for compatibility.
"10) NVIDIA 3D Vision mode for use with NVIDIA 3D Vision glasses. The
NVIDIA 3D Vision infrared emitter must be connected to a USB port of
your computer, and to the 3-pin DIN connector of a Quadro graphics board
(based on G8xGL or higher GPU) before starting the X server.
Hot-plugging the USB infrared stereo emitter is not yet supported. Also,
3D Vision Stereo Linux support requires a Linux kernel built with USB
device filesystem (usbfs) and USB 2.0 support. Not presently supported
on FreeBSD or Solaris."
(For stereo mode 10, Quadro graphics cards with G8xGL or higher GPUs)
