Well, it's not all masked in the tree:

alan@nazgul ~ $ eix -e qt
[I] x11-libs/qt
Available versions:
(3) 3.3.4-r8 3.3.8-r4
(4) 4.3.1-r1 4.3.2 4.3.2-r1 (~)4.3.3 [M](~)4.4.0_rc1

You've been using autounmask lately? Maybe that screwed it up. Or maybe=20
you did, especially aas you just confessed in public to being an=20
idiot :-)

Check the contents of /etc/portage/package.mask/*

=2D-=20
