Just took another look, and I /think/ I might have figured out your 
problem.  Actually, I stumbled upon it trying to figure out package name 
case when looking to see what I had merged here, as all the combinations 
(pyqt, pyQT, etc) I was trying weren't returning anything, yet I was 
/sure/ I had it merged!  

Question: /Which/ PyQt do you have installed/merged?  A quick esearch 
pyqt (case insensitive! =8^) gave me two results (misc. inapropos 
snipped):

[ Results for search key : pyqt ]
[ Applications found : 2 ]
*  dev-python/PyQt
*  dev-python/PyQt4

So I suspect that if you needed the qt4 USE flag, you probably need PyQt4 
as well, and you only have PyQt (version 3) merged (or possibly the other 
way around).  Maybe that's another USE flag issue?  If not, maybe it's a 
dependency bug.

Of course, if you have both PyQt and PyQt4 merged, we're back at square 
one again.
