Indeed blastwave provides only 3.3.3 binary packages of Qt and sunfreeware 3.3.4. Looks bad for something beyond LyX 1.4.5.1. There is a note in the Qt plattform notes about problems with gcc 3.2.* http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/platform-notes-x11.html#solaris-9-or-later Maybe you can compile it on your own with a decent gcc.
