Apparently, though unproven, at 01:31 on Friday 08 October 2010, Dale did 
opine thusly:

I fail to see why you are even worried about this flag:

# equery size qt-qt3support

 * x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.6.3
         Total files : 428
         Total size  : 7.37 MiB


If the presence of that teenyweeny package with the few things that require it 
really is an issue for you, then I can state the following with complete 
confidence:

You should not be using KDE4.
