Since you deleted version (PV part), you need to delete the "=" before the 
specification. The way you have it now you are telling portage that lincvs 
should depend on *exactly* qt?-what? ??
You cannot have either PV or >=,<=,=,~... in [R]DEPEND. You should have both 
or none. But here comes the question: are you sure lincvs will compile wit 
qt-3*? My guess is "=" is there for a reason. I think thats a "-x11" part 
that is problematic (see below).

The error you get after your modifications actually tells me that it it "#" 
emerge is confused about. Is this code you put above exact replica of what is 
in your ebuild? 
In this case no wonder it will bobm out: [R]DEPEND definition should be 
enclosed in ""; it can contain {whitespace+\n} separated entries, but nothing 
else! Thus "#" inside your DEPEND line won't work. Even if it did you would 
be commenting out closing ". So that entry should read:
DEPEND="kde? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-2.1.1 )
	=x11-libs/qt-2*"

Also, I see the original ebuild depends on qt-x11, - it looks like the ebuild 
is really outdated, I would guess nobody dared to emerge it in quite a while. 
Please submit your changes to bugs.gentoo.org as you get it to work, or in 
any case please file a bug report.
Thanks!
