Looks like gitorious is being obstreperous :-(.

I managed to actually get qt downloaded earlier this week. One thing you 
can do is to try to clone qt manually, into $KDEROOT\git. If all else 
fails, you can download a release tarball yourself and work with that, 
with some trickery to convince the emerge system that you installed it.

Are you using msvc or mingw for this project? In either case, you have to 
count on spending some time getting all the bits in place, the emerge 
process almost never runs smoothly from begin to end, there's always 
something.
