I think I have the same conflict. I just solved it by putting this into 
package.keywords:
~dev-python/PyQt4-4.4.3
~dev-python/sip-4.7.7

So I upgraded to PyQt4-4.4.3, and this depends on the splitted Qt ebuilds, 
while PyQt4 up to version 4.4-r1 wants the old monolithic Qt.

weird ~ # grep x11-libs/qt /usr/portage/dev-python/PyQt4/*.ebuild
