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.
