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.
