Going along with what Alan said. qt3support does not use Qt 3 at all.
It just puts something like a Qt 3-compatible API into Qt 4, to make
porting Qt 3 to Qt 4 apps easier. It is largely insignifcant to you
(since it's not pulling in qt3 packages).

If you have any packages that require this USE flag, their ebuild will
require this USE flag. So disable it, emerge --deep --newuse world and
see if it complains. If it does, re-enable and continue life with
qt3support as if nothing ever happened. :)
