First, I believe MythTV still required QT3. The QT package is slotted,
so you should be able to have both 3 and 4 installed. If you upgraded
MySQL on the AMD64 box, you may want to rebuild QT3 with something like
emerge -av =dev-libs/qt3*
If that doesn't fix it, it sounds like it could be a password encryption
problem. I had a similar problem when I tried using a RHEL box as a
front end. The RHEL distribution only supported MySQL 4.0.x and my back
end DB is MySQL 5.x. I could connect fine from the command line, but the
front end could not. After a bit of research I determined it was a
password encryption problem. I decided the easiest solution for me was to
create a second account for the mythconverg DB and encrypt the password
using the old_password function. You can also upgrade the client to 5.x.
If it's already at 5.x you may need to re-encrypt the password for the
account.
You may want to look at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
and try some of the suggestions.
Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell Myth and most everything else does depend on qt3:

I did upgrade mysql to version 5 so I'll try rebuilding qt3 using
this command:
emerge -av =x11-libs/qt-3*
If the info above suggests other ideas please post back when you
get a chance.
thanks,
Mark
