It's not a system package so you can remove it whenever you want without 
any ill consequences.  If something else needs it, it will pull it back 
automatically.

To save you a needless rebuild in case something pulls it back, the best 
way to know is to simply remove all instances of x11-libs/qt* from 
/var/lib/portage/world (if it's there) and then run "emerge -a 
--depclean".  This will remove it if it's no longer needed.
