I "emerge -vp lxqt-meta" and it gave me an output of masked packages
which I populated /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

eg
=lxqt-base/lxqt-panel-0.7.0-r1 ~amd64
etc

Then emerge "emerge lxqt-meta" again.

It only depends on qt4 packages though. Not sure about qt5 as I believe
this is not available in standard packages yet. I can only see qt
versions 4.8.5 in portage.

Perhaps the use flag is for future functionality. Or you may need to
use an overlay to get qt5.

I did not use lxde before but razor. Its very similar to this.
