I just solved a similar block, also involving PyQt4, by adding
   dev-python/PyQt4 -dbus
to my /etc/portage/package.use. (I also added -qt3support to USE in
/etc/make.conf to get rid of the mess where some packages have that
defined, and some not.)

But I am already at qt-*-4.5.2 the upgrade to which is a longer
procedure as Alan points out.

Cheers,
   Peter.

P.S.: Sorry, if this appears twice. I sent a similar reply half an hour
      ago and it hasn't shown up yet...
