I would think that the opposite would be true. As few packages support
both, I would think that this is a good reason to just have one qt USE
flag which pulls in support for whichever version of qt each
individual package supports. The only package I have seen which would
support the need for having separate USE flags is
app-text/poppler-bindings which can support either or both qt3 and
qt4.
