With regards to this:
I believe I'm in the same situation:

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Title: Qt 4.5.2 default USE flag changes
Author: Alex Alexander <wi...@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2009-09-27
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Installed: <x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2
Would that "Display-If-Installed" be the reason why it's missing from
the list?
amit0 ~ # qlist -Uv qt
dev-libs/dbus-qt3-old-0.70
dev-libs/poppler-qt3-0.10.7
virtual/poppler-qt3-0.10.7
x11-libs/qt-3.3.8b-r1 (cups nis opengl)
What I'm trying to say is: if indeed the issue here is the same as
Alan's, then "qt_use_changes" should show up when I 'eselect news read'.

Please read your portage news, especially

"Confusion".
