Google found me some info on what the qt3support in qt4 did, but it
was a bit vague. It apparently enables some qt3 compatibilty layer
stuff that's used by some apps that have been partially ported from
qt3 to qt4.
Having qt3support does support the building of qt3 apps.

Installing qt3 seems to be rather simple. Just enable the kde-sunset
overlay using layman, and then:
emerge qt:3
Now I've got a /usr/qt/3/bin/qmake.
The app still won't build, but I think I'm getting closer.
